1. You give them something to eat (13-16)

Jesus was sorry about John. He wanted to be alone with his disciples, so he withdrew to a solitary place. But the place did not remain solitary! Crowds seeking a shepherd were waiting for him. Jesus had compassion on them and he served them all day long. The disciples waited patiently until evening. They made a reasonable suggestion: 'The people are hungry; send them away to buy food.' Jesus' reply was shocking. 'You give them something to eat.' Jesus wants his disciples to learn his shepherd's heart and learn faith that overcomes the world.

2. Five loaves and two fish (17-21)

They only had 5 loaves and 2 fish, and the task looked impossible. But when they brought what they had to Jesus, he blessed the loaves and fish and enabled the disciples to feed the crowd abundantly.

Application: Lord, accept our loaves and fish and feed the people of our world with the word of God.
One Word: You give them something to eat!
