American Homiletic Review Matthew 14:15-21 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away… I. Christ feeds the famishing world by means of His Church. 1. The food, though supernaturally provided, is carried to the hungry by the ordinary means. 2. The disciples were prepared for their work. They had to learn the absolute disproportion between the means at their command and the needs of the crowd. 3. We must carry our poor and inadequate resources to Christ. II. THE BREAD IS ENOUGH FOR ALL THE WORLD — "They did all eat and were filled." III. THE BREAD THAT IS GIVEN TO THE FAMISHING IS MULTIPLIED FOR THE FUTURE OF THE DISTRIBUTORS. (American Homiletic Review.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. |
