GOD WANTS A LAD

There is a lad here...(Jn. 6:9)

Although there was a great company of people gathered around Jesus, when there arose the need to feed the multitude, no one had anything to offer. It appeared, even the disciples were not prepared to face the situation. But a little boy was ready to sacrifice all that he had. He had brought five loaves and two fishes and he gave them to Jesus. It was a lad who made himself available to the Lord for this unique sacrifice. There are millions in the world who are suffering from spiritual hunger.

Five loaves could speak of the body with five senses; two fishes could imply the spirit and soul. Dear reader, are you willing to surrender your spirit, soul and body unconditionally into His hands?

If this boy had been selfish and had eaten all that he had, it may not have satisfied even his own hunger; but when he gave it all to Jesus, he had satisfaction in many ways. His sacrificial service was rewarded with the greatest satisfaction of having the name of the Lord be glorified by his exemplary giving.
When Jesus received the five loaves and the two fishes He blessed them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples without taking anything for Himself. The disciples then distributed them to the multitudes, again, not keeping even a bit for themselves. We find that after all were fed and satisfied, twelve baskets remained with the leftovers.

*"Great accomplishments in life are the result of great sacrifice."*
