In John 6 Jesus miraculously feeds over 5,000 with a little boy's lunch of 2 small fish and 5 barley loaves. The crowd ate until EVERYONE was full. Later in the chapter Jesus helps the people to see that the point of the miracle was so that "they would believe that He was the one sent from God" and goes on to declare himself as "The Bread of Life". Jesus still invites us to feast on Him. Join us for a short Thanksgiving devotional.
