My Sunday Scripture 2010.6.6.
But the crowds got to know and they went after him. He made them welcome and talked to them about the kingdom of God; and he cured those who were in need of healing.
It was late afternoon when the Twelve came up to him and said, 'Send the people away, and they can go to the villages and farms round about to find lodging and food; for we are in a lonely place here.'
He replied, 'Give them something to eat yourselves.' But they said, 'We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we are to go ourselves and buy food for all these people.'
For there were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, 'Get them to sit down in parties of about fifty.'
They did so and made them all sit down.
Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, raised his eyes to heaven, and said the blessing over them; then he broke them and handed them to his disciples to distribute among the crowd.
They all ate as much as they wanted, and when the scraps left over were collected they filled twelve baskets.
Luke 9:11b-17

My Reading Notes:
---------------------
The question is how do the Creator of the Universe feed us.
Jesus had asked Peter at the last moment. He asked him does he love him.
He said he does. And he said, you feed my lamp. And he said, you tend my sheep. And he said, you feed my sheep. If Peter is to love God, he has now got a mission. That mission is to feed the people.
The question is how. How can he feed all other sheep on the planet earth?
Yes he can.
All the other creatures on earth are fed properly. Why not us people?
Its because God has leave us the "choice". Its that he had given us wisdom.
To feed all the people, Peter must deliver this wisdom to the people on earth.
And this wisdom, is the Gospel.
