Evening: Psalm 23, 27; Luke 9:1-17
Jesus’
 miracles – like the feeding of the 5000 – taught people about 
community, and the healing of relationships.  In healthy human 
communities, the strong support the weak, all are welcome, none suffer 
isolation; hospitality is the rule.  What is hospitality in a crowd of 
5000?  Perhaps simply this … Those who have food share with those who 
have none, so all are fed.  Jesus gave his disciples authority over 
evil, and power to heal.  Hunger is a sign of brokenness, even evil, in 
human communities. When communities are healed, the miracle is that 
no-one goes hungry.
