[:en]Thoughts from Mark 8[:]

[:en]How did Jesus feed the Four Thousand?  (vs. 6-7)

  1.  He told the crowd to sit down
  2. He took the 7 loaves and gave thanks
  3. He broke them and gave them to His disciples
  4. He told the disciples to set before the people.

How can we feed people with Spiritual Food?

  1.  Gather people
  2. Study God’s word and ask for God’s guidance
  3. Teach and make disciples
  4. Proclaim the gospel of salvation to all mankind.

When Jesus asked Peter: “Who do you say I am?”.  Peter answered: “You are the Christ” (v. 29).

How about you?  Who do you say Jesus is?

To come to Jesus needs 3 things (vs. 34-37)

  1. Deny himself   –  Be humble
  2. Take up his cross – Be willing to sacrifice
  3. Follow Him – Be able to do what He wants us to do
