@ Ozark - Feeding the 5,000

Today in my Gospel of Luke class we were talking about Luke 9:12-17, where Jesus feeds the 5,000. Now, this is the only miracle that is recorded in all 4 Gospel accounts. But our teacher Gerald Griffin (Griff) was talking about the Twelve disciples just getting done healing the sick and RAISING DEAD PEOPLE TO LIFE. They obviously know their power that Jesus gave to them in Luke 9:1-2. But now somehow they are not sure what they need to do. Jesus wants them to figure out what to do in the situation in Luke 9:13. On a side note it says in John 6:6 that Jesus already knew what he was going to do about the hunger situation. But Griff was saying that after they were doing all these miracles like raising people from the dead, that he doesn’t know what to think about the Twelve’s faith. Griff was also surprised that Peter, being the way he is didn’t speak up with his tenacity and offer to do a miracle to feed them. I was thinking when he said this, well shoot, I bet Peter is thinking ‘I shouldn’t have raised those dead people, because now they are wanting food too.’ I told Griff about this and he thought it was funny enough to tell his classes in the future, that he wrote it down in his personal lecture notes. But really it might be true, because in Luke 8:55 Jesus told the 12 year old dead girl’s parents to give her food. So there may strangely be something linked to being dead and “waking up” from death to needing nourishment :) Cool huh…
