Preacher's Pondering
Preacher’s Ponderings for Sunday July 21, 2024
Our assigned text for this Sunday is: Ponderings:
Why do you suppose Jesus spent so much time taking care of people? Healing the sick. Whenever he seemingly encountered a sick person, no matter who they are he healed them. When he encountered the hungry he fed them. When he encountered the scared, he calmed them. This week we see Jesus feed the 5000. An impressive task when completed by professional caterers but then when you compound it by the fact that the disciples had no preparation or planning they simply did as instructed. This, was nothing short of miraculous. As we ponder the question of why did Jesus spend so much time taking care of people I want you to also ask yourself this, if someone has their needs met, health, hunger, housing, and clothing, what might they be capable of that they weren't before? Think about this as we journey to Sunday.
Found with you, in Christ,
PB
