GRACIOUS PROVISION: Feeding the Multitude – BTEp7 

Biblical Talks 

In this episode of Biblical Talks, we discuss Mark 6:30-44 New Living Translation. This passage shows the gracious provision of Jesus of Nazareth. And how he feed the multitude–five thousand men and their families. Furthermore, we see His deep sympathy and compassion for those who made the choice to follow Him. Thus, He would meet one’s physical and spiritual needs. Because Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd.

When looking at this further, the parable of the lost sheep paints an excellent picture. 

So, let’s look at Luke 15:3-7 New Living Translation. 

“Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. 2 This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such sinful people—even eating with them! 

3 So Jesus told them this story: 4 “If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it?  

5 And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. 6 When he arrives, he will call together his friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’ 

7 In the same way, there is more joy in heaven over one lost sinner who repents and returns to God than over ninety-nine others who are righteous and haven’t strayed away!”

Receive your Free Gift of Salvation – The Gospel of Jesus Christ 

Explanation 

If you are reading this, it is not by chance. This is your time to receive the Gift of Salvation through Christ Jesus. 

Now, you may be wondering, “Why do I need that?” Oh, I’m so glad you asked. The Bible says, that because 

Adam ate fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil — he released sin into the world. 

And ultimately, Adam’s sin brought death and death spread to everyone. 

No doubt, you may be thinking, “Of course, everyone is going to die.” But, my question to you is “Where will you spend eternity?” Because there is life after death. In fact, when you die you go to one of two places — heaven or hell. 

Also, it is important to understand that, Adam’s sin also brought an eternity in hell. But for those who choose not to receive the free gift of eternal life. Thus, you must make that choice before you take your last breath. 

Romans 5:17 New Living Translation says, 

“For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ.” 

To sum it all up, Romans 6:23 New Living Translation says, 

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord.” 

So, if you are reading this, don’t let another day go by without receiving this life-changing gift. 

Scripture  

Romans 10:8-10 New Living Translation says, 

“8 …“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 

9 If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 

10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” 

Salvation Prayer 

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins. I ask You to forgive me. I want to follow You, Jesus. I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead. By faith, I receive You, Jesus Christ, and your gift of grace. Come into my heart, into my life, and be my Lord and Savior.
