Bible Story: Play the Bible Story Video Jesus cares about our needs and is able to provide for us. Jesus and his disciples where tired and hungry. Jesus popularity had grown so much that He had to hide to get alone time. He and His men had been serving people day and night and needed a break. Jesus is the ultimate servant. In this story, we see how He wasn t angry that He couldn t away from the crowd. Instead, Jesus felt compassion for the people because He knew that they were lost. The same God who provided manna for the Israelites in the wilderness multiplied loaves and fish to satisfy the crowd. But Jesus didn t intend to only meet the people s physical needs. He came to satisfy their spiritual needs as well. In John 6:35, Jesus said, I am the bread of life. He said that no one who comes to Him will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Him will ever be thirsty again. Jesus not only cares, but is able to take care of us. He can do so much with just a little. Someone had to give of their food to Jesus. Jesus took that and multiplied it.
Christ Connection: By feeding the five thousand, Jesus provided for the physical needs of the crowd. The next day, Jesus called Himself the bread of life. (John 6:35) Only Jesus is able to satisfy our souls forever by providing forgiveness, friendship with God, and eternal life.

Jesus Provided Bread from Heaven Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; John 6:1-14 Jesus disciples had been hard at work. They had been healing people and teaching them. So many people came and went that the disciples did not even have time to eat! So, Jesus said to them, Come with me. Let s go to a quiet place where we can be alone and get some rest. Jesus and His disciples got into a boat to cross the Sea of Galilee, but many people saw them leaving. The people traveled by foot, and they ran ahead of Jesus. When Jesus and His disciples got to the shore, the people were already there waiting for them. Jesus saw the crowd and He cared about them because they were like sheep who needed a shepherd. So, Jesus taught the people many things about God s kingdom, and He healed people who were sick. By this time, it was late in the day. Jesus disciples came to Him and said, We are out in the middle of nowhere, and it s getting late. Tell the people to go away so they can go to the farms and villages to buy themselves something to eat. But Jesus said, They don t need to go away. You give them something to eat. Jesus disciples were confused. We can t feed this many people, they said. It would cost a whole year s pay to buy enough bread for them to eat, Philip said. Jesus asked them, How many loaves of bread do you have? Go look. Jesus disciple Andrew said, A boy here has five loaves and two fish, but what good will that do for so many people? Jesus told the disciples to instruct everyone to sit down. So, all the people sat down in big groups on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven, and then He blessed the bread. He broke it into pieces and gave it to the disciples. He also divided up the fish. The disciples passed out the food to the people, and everyone ate until they were full. Then Jesus told the disciples to collect any leftover food. The disciples collected 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish. Jesus fed about five thousand men that day, plus women and children. Christ Connection: By feeding the five thousand, Jesus provided for the physical needs of the crowd. The next day, Jesus called Himself the bread of life. (John 6:35) Only Jesus is able to satisfy our souls forever by providing forgiveness, friendship with God, and eternal life.
