Since the beginning of the Gospel, the narrative has been depicting the dramatic interaction between light and darkness, God and the world (1:5). In this section of Scripture, conflict is not far away but right at home, with the very people with whom Jesus should have found the most connection and support—his own family.” - Edward W. Klink ...

Jesus, The Sustainer | Blaine Vandegriff | John 6:1–15
Brainerd North Georgia
The feeding of the five thousand is the fifth of seven signs John presents to urge his readers to trust in Jesus as Messiah and Son of God. Jesus tests his disciples, and they try to figure out a problem on their own without Him, and the crowd tries to capture and use Jesus for their own selfish ends. The lesson for all of us is to learn to rely on Jesus and receive him as our king. For more information about Brainerd North Georgia visit:
