As Kathie and I were in a time of Bible reading and prayer, Holy Spirit spoke to me as Kathie was reading the account of the feeding of the 5,000 from Mark Chapter 6:30-44. Matthew, Chapter 14:13-21 and John 6:1-14 also contain accounts of feeding 5,000. Incidentally, there were likely 2-4 times that number of people that were fed in these accounts, because in that culture and time they only counted the men in their head count.
I am not going to read these accounts to you, because you need to do that for your own understanding.
But, I believe Holy Spirit has something to teach us out of the feeding of the 5,000 today. With that in mind, I want us to look closely at those who participated in this miraculous event as described in the accounts of Matthew, Mark and John.
