After John the Baptist was killed, Jesus knew His march toward the cross was nearly upon Him. We see a change in His teachings toward His disciples, mainly a "ramping up" of spiritual laws and truths where these natural men would be required to live and operate supernatural lives long after Jesus was gone from the earth.
The first of such teachings was the feeding of the five thousand. Here, Jesus revealed to them that this new kingdom operates under the seed principle, meaning that the smallest of things, when placed in Lord's hands and offered to the Heavenly Father, will reap a great abundance. All they had to feed these five thousand men plus their wives and children were two small fish and five loaves of bread. But this was more than enough in the hands of the Savior! That day, the multitudes ate till they were full and even had twelve filled baskets left over to bless others! Moses had fed Israel manna in the wilderness, but this was greater than manna! One greater than Moses had come.
This historical account is a great spiritual lesson for us in the body of Christ, some 2000 plus years beyond the cross. If the Lord has called us to do something that in the natural seems impossible, then we are to offer the small little bits that we have and place them in His hands. The Heavenly Father will bless it and there will be an abundance. Give it time, but the harvest will surely come. It is a spiritual law!
We live in a wonderful kingdom! It is a kingdom that will continue to grow, flourish, and bear great fruit. It is a kingdom that will never end! Amen!
