Feeding of the 5,000
(John 6:1-15; Matthew 14:13-23)Feeding of the 5,000
Anticipate: "Getting Ready"
Lets begin today by putting ourselves into the position of a young boy preparing to go with his family to see Jesus. There are no McDonalds or stores on the way and the journey may be long, so we’ll need to pack bread and dried fish. So we’ll prepare food for our trip: we’ll mix up our playdough recipe and get ready for the main event.

“The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.”
To have compassion is more than just feeling bad for someone or a situation, but to be compelled to do something about a circumstance or for someone. We may have heard about Jesus miracles many times before…but what if we put ourselves into the position of a bystander, someone who came to see Jesus and got to witness a miracle. The only reason the others in the crowd were fed, was because someone did bring some food which Jesus, feeling compassionate for the hungry crowd, multiplied into thousands of portions of fish and bread. In the same way, God shows His compassion when He sees us as sinners, without hope and without God. He sent His Son, Jesus, to take upon Himself the sin of the world, so that those who believe in Him may not face death but have eternal life. And when God shows us His compassion, each of us will be like the crowd that was fed by Jesus, completed satisfied.
Respond: "Feeding the Crowd"
Today we want to think about what an amazing miracle Jesus did with 5 loaves and 2 fishes (probably a boy’s lunch!) by trying to make as many loaves and fishes we can with our playdough. We take for granted all the big numbers in the bible. What does it mean to have 5000 portions of food? To appreciate how amazing this miracle really is, we’re going to see how much food all of us together can make in the time we have to feed just 100 people.

May God awaken our children to His Spirit of compassion so that they will extend His compassion to others. As our children remember that God is compassionate, may they trust God to provide for them each day.
