Matthew 14:13-21 – Jesus Provides (mp3)

---

Introduction  

There are a number of ways that an event can be seen as major in the Bible. Sometimes much that comes after depends on them; sometimes it is the amount of text given over to the event. But there are some events that are shown to be important because they are repeated multiple times. The feeding of the 5,000 is a wondrous miracle, but doesn’t take a lot of text, and nothing explicitly flows from it. But all the Gospels tell us of it, and do so differently, helping us to see that much good can come from studying the nature of Jesus’ provision for his people here. 

1. Jesus’ provision is generous 

2. Jesus’ provision is greater 

3. Jesus’ provision is physical 

4. Jesus’ provision is spiritual 

5. Jesus’ provision is mediated 

6. Jesus’ provision is good 

7. Jesus’ provision is plentiful
