Thoughts from the Lectionary: The Seventh Sunday after Trinity

From the Gospel lesson: St. Mark 8:1- 9

This passage of Holy Writ documents the second time Christ miraculously feeds a very large crowd of people who had been following him for a lengthy period of time, some of them over a great distance. Our Lord having compassion on the multitude (some of whom were likely destitute) provides sustenance for them before sending them to their homes, to the amazement of His disciples who had wondered how such a crowd could be fed with so little available provisions.

We see our Saviour’s deep concern for His followers here. He feeds the multitude and at the same time provides a greater spiritual truth for His disciples. That is, that He is completely trustworthy and was deserving of their faith in Him.

Christ does not, and has not changed. He is still Lord. He is still worthy of our complete faith and trust in Him with our lives. He is Jehovah Jireh the God who provides. Whether food, shelter, clothing, or spiritual/mental strength and clarity, look to Him.

Blessings,
