IS FIVE THC -John 6.1-71° Golden Text —Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life; he that cometh 1o Me shall not hunger, and he ‘that believeth on Me shall never thirst.—John, 6.35. | | | Jesus reached the crisis of His min- istry when He fed the five thousand. This fact has secured for it a place in the four gospels. Although He per: formed 37 miracles, the knowledge of which has been handed down to us in the Scriptures, it Is the only one recorded in all the gospels. Lord retired with His disciples to the grassy plain of Butaiha, on the north- eastern shore of the Ses of Galilee, He was rapidly approaching the de: cisive hour in His public ministry Great success had attended His teach. ing and wonder-working deeds of gruce. He had healed the pa ic, cleansed the lepers. cast out devils, imed the waves of the sesx and raised the dead. s Several events compelled the Master to make a decision in reference to the rulership that affected all His subse- quent history. The approach of the Passover season filled the people with popular feelings of patriotism and re ligion. The recent death of John the Brptist, whom Herod had beheaded, filled tile masses with popular indig nation and made them ready to throw off their political alleglance to Rome. The disciples of the Baptiats were at- tracted to the leadership of Jesus. The success of the missionary work of the aposties filled the minds of the 8 who were converging at Capernaum with the view of joining fome caravan en rouie (o the Passover #l Jerusalem, with the desire to see Jdesus. The feeding of the five thou sand at that p: hological moment stallized public sentiment into an efiort. 1o force the Lord to uceept the Kinship pf His natien. The pressure was so strong that the Master compelled to determine whether weuld vield to public opinion A grea' multitude followed Him on foot Sex of Galflee, wh they saw Him and His apostles withdraw by boat for a period of rest in a secluded sec- tion of Bethsaida. The weary and worn-out apostles were irritated by the presence of the multitude. They would have sent them away. but the compassionate Christ ministered unto them by performing His most strik ing and spectacular miracle after He had spent the day in teaching them and healing their sick. His reference to the spiritual suggestiveness of Hisx social service miracle brought a di- { | He I tude, that marked the erisis in Hix rublic ministry. Feeding the Multitude. He took advantage of the multitude’s needs to test His disciple’s faith They were in the section where Philip was at home. best acquainted with its resources His answer n that these may eat?" which probably ‘was a result of & ference among the apostles, reveals at the Lord's qu docs e e had mot nsked “how but “where" could they buv. The proposition of spending 200 denari. ot about $34, would have hankrupled their treasury. It would not have supplied theip wants. ‘The densrius was the uverage daily wage of laboring man. 1t had a larger put chasing power then than the salary man finds his wages will purchase o day. In considering their own re- sources before, the source of supply they acted as we freqiently do in our day when we consider our lmited resources before we lh;"n‘k of the un ited power of the Christ. e resoutceful Andrew had made a survey of the limited supply of food that was available. His reference to the nt supplv of a boy evealed the dawning of a faith that was &ym pathetic with the Master's desire to feed the muititude. He hesitated believe that it would be possible to feed such a crowd with five barley loaves and (wo dried fish. Jesus did not despise the hoy's supply. There is always hidden possibilities in our apparently small resources when they are dedicated to the Lord's serv jce. If all would willingly co-operate with Christ in helping Him to carry i out His program. there would bhe no ‘| want in this world or lack of funids {10 push the work of the Kingdom.

His action in saving the fragments, which, when gathered up. filled 12 baskets with the broken fragments of bread and fish, was in harmony with God's law for the con- servation of the forces of nature. They saw in Jesus the leader needed by their nation to unite their forces and free them from the tyrannical power of the Romans, who had crushed the Jews beneath their mili- tary power. They determined to make the Lord their king by force. Their action, which had been pre- cipitated by a combination of events, compelled Jesus to fight out again the temptations of the wilderness. He dismissed the multitude and His disciples. He had reached the crown- ing point of popular success. Our Lord felt the need of being alone with God so that in prayer He could ban- ish the temptation forever from His thoughts. He had not come to estab- lish a political kingdom, but a spirit- ual sovereignty. - If He complied with their wishes, the way was open for Him to enjoy temporal power that presented many opportunities for spiritual service. Its acceptance meant the defeat of His mission. He came to establish a spiritual king- dom, based upon love, that would in- clude all the nations and races. If He declined to serve His nation, that He loved with the intensity of a pa- triot, He would be rejected by His countrymen and .crucified vpon the cross. The horrors of the crucifixion could not turn Christ from the path of duty. The Bread of Life. While He was facing the parting of the ways in prayer alone upon the mountain the disciples, who had de- parted in obedience to His command, were having a struggle with the torm. The darkness of the night and the absence of the Master served to increase their difficulties. His presence filled ‘them with a sense of security. but when He appeared walk- ing upon the waters they were panic ik When the | was | around the northern end of the | vision of sentiment among the multi- | Jesus knew what He would do when | He probably was the | | He was. perplexed by the Master's | | request, “Where are we to buy bread | estion was misun- | The 5,000 whom He fed did not | D.

The Individual #nd nation that professes but does nol possess Hix presence Is doomed to fail. ( they showed that they hed failed to understand the dominant purpose of Christ in feeding the multitude, Jesus condemned their seeking Him for material blessings. He pointed out ‘the spiritual symbolism of the miracle as: the sign of what He was and came to do, citing Moses and the Life.”” He Insisted that religion was A mecessity, and that the only way they ‘could satisfy thelr religious knpwledge was.out of His experience. Jesus claimed that Hix life and per- sonality wasx the only nourishment for one’s soul and the only way for one to ohtain eternal life. He Is s1ill what He c¢laimed to be— “the Bread of Life.” We pray with the poet daily: Break thou thie bread of life. o me ak the lo Rexond the escred ) ek Thee.
