Evening: Psalm 103; Mark 6:30-44
What to make of Jesus’ miracles? The ‘feeding of the 5,000’ (and that was just the men!) appears in all 4 Gospels. That the story enjoyed such currency in early Christianity suggests that it carries truth. There were, by all accounts, 5,000 – 10,000 witnesses who would have discredited the story had it been a lie. We cannot easily dismiss as fable – though some do – stories with such strong foundations. What is so difficult? … The world is full of daily miracles. Why did people flock to Jesus? Wasn’t it simply that he did, in fact, heal and feed them?
