Overflowing Grace: What They Did with The Leftover Fish and Bread – In the Gospel of Matthew, we read about the miraculous feeding of the multitude by Jesus, where he multiplied five loaves of bread and two fish to feed thousands of hungry people. This extraordinary event not only demonstrated Jesus’ divine power but also carried profound spiritual significance. Beyond satisfying physical hunger, it conveyed a message of abundance and grace that continues to resonate with us today. In this blog post, we will explore what happened with the leftover fish and bread after the feeding of the multitude and the lessons we can draw from this remarkable incident.

Jesus Takes Our Baggage: Finding Freedom in Christ – In our journey through life, we often find ourselves burdened by the weight of our past mistakes, regrets, and struggles. We carry the baggage of guilt, shame, and pain, unable to move forward and experience the freedom that God desires for us. However, as Christians, we have a remarkable truth to hold onto: Jesus takes our baggage. In Him, we find release, restoration, and redemption. Let us explore how surrendering our burdens to Jesus can transform our lives and lead us to a place of healing and freedom.

The victim on the cross became the victor over sin and death – When Jesus was crucified, He was seen as a victim, an innocent man suffering at the hands of those in power.

Cast Out No More: Embracing Jesus’ Unconditional Love, Regardless of Your Past – In a world filled with judgment and conditional acceptance, the words of Jesus bring solace and hope to every weary soul seeking redemption. The assurance that “whoever comes to me I will not cast out” (John 6:37) holds profound significance, as it reveals the boundless love and grace of our Savior. Regardless of our past mistakes, shortcomings, or even the severity of our sins, Jesus extends an open invitation to find forgiveness, restoration, and eternal life. Let us delve deeper into this incredible promise and discover the transformative power of His unconditional love.

Divine Preparation: The Planted Tree That Met Zacchaeus’ Need – Long before Zacchaeus couldn’t see Jesus, the tree was already planted to meet his need – In the Gospel of Luke, we come across the beautiful account of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector who longed to see Jesus. However, Zacchaeus faced a significant obstacle—he was short in stature, making it impossible for him to catch a glimpse of the Savior amidst the large crowd. But little did Zacchaeus know that long before his desire to see Jesus arose, a tree had been planted, perfectly positioned to meet his need. This incredible incident teaches us a profound lesson about God’s providence and how He prepares for our encounters with Him even before we are aware of our deepest desires.
