Luke 9:10-17 — In this text we have what is probably Jesus’ most famous miracle, the feeding of the 5,000. It is a story many of heard for the first time as little children and we know it well, but have you ever considered the context? Have you thought about what Jesus was doing in the lead up to this miracle? He was actually attempting to have a day-off!
As we take some time to consider the setting for this miracle and how it unfolded, we are once again presented with a beautiful picture of the sacrificial love and generosity of Jesus.
