The Character of Jesus - DEMONSTRATED GOD’S POWER

Read Mark 6:35-44.

“And He said to them, ‘How many loaves do you have? Go look!’ And when they found out, they said, ‘Five and two fish.’” (v. 38)

Jesus forced the disciples to compare their resources to the need at hand. They found them inadequate. The, He took those resources and blessed them so that there was more than enough! He wanted them to see what God could do with ordinary men, with ordinary resources.

I need to not only rely on God’s power, but demonstrate that to others. I need to rely on supernatural intervention more than I do.
