Matthew 14
16 But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.”
The crowds had gathered. Huddled and harassed like sheep without a shepherd, hungering for what Jesus had to offer. Then, as the day wore on, they were hungering for some physical food as well. Alas, the concession stands were not open, and Jesus’ Disciples come to Him with this problem. They want Him to disperse the crowds so those folks can go scrounge something to eat. Jesus simply replies, “that isn’t necessary - you feed them.” How often do I ask Jesus to do for me, what I should be doing in His name? How often do I deserve to hear, “that isn’t necessary - you DO it.”? Jesus has empowered me to take care of folks in His name. May I never again be guilty of trying to wiggle my way out of that responsibility.
