1 John 4:7-10; Ps 72;Mark 6:34-44 Something to eat Out of love for those who were lost, like sheep with no shepherd, Jesus spoke ‘at some length.’ They were hungry – both spiritually and physically – and Jesus ‘gave them something to eat,’ because God is love, and Jesus is God.

Lk 5:17-26 but with Jesus the power of God became so imminent that people would do anything for healing and because of faith the paralyzed […]
