26 - Bread and Fish Miracle

Introduction:

Who loves us the most, ...mom, dad, sister, ...? Who loves us the most of all? It is our Lord Jesus Christ. Because He loves us the most, He always makes sure that we have what we need even before we ask.

Lesson Outline:

One day a big crowd of people followed Jesus, thousands and thousands of people around five thousand men and their families, to a place far away from their homes. Jesus was very nice to all, He listened to everyone, healed the sick, helped the weak, and everyone was happy to be near Him. After a while, it was time to eat. Jesus did not want the people to leave hungry since they had a long way to get home. So, Jesus asked His friends the disciples to get food for the people. One disciple said we don’t have money to buy food for all those people and all the stores are far away. Another disciple, Andrew, said,  no one had any food except a boy who had five loaves of bread and two fish. But they are not of course enough to feed all those people. Of course not, but with Jesus, yes! Jesus asked the disciples to make the people sit in groups, took the food and prayed and then asked His friends to give everyone to eat… and guess what happened… Everyone ate and there were twelve baskets of leftovers. When people followed Jesus after so they could eat again, he told them don’t worry all the time about the food but worry about being good and living with God. He said, “I am the bread of life”. With Jesus, everything is possible, He can take the little that we have and make it enough for everyone and more… We love Jesus our Lord. Jesus can do anything for us and cares for all our needs.

Don’t forget to pray before you eat for God to bless our food.

With five loaves and two fishes

In the hands of the Lord makes a big big dish

One little boy gave up his lunch

And Jesus let five thousands munch
