What if Jesus makes possible a new world?

Morning: Psalm 89:1-18; Jeremiah 16:10-21; Romans 7:1-12
Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; John 6:1-15

They say that Jesus’s ‘feeding of the 5000’ is either a miracle of bread multiplied to feed a lot of people; or, inspired by a miracle of generosity of spirit, people share their bread.  But what if a miracle is not the main point?  The story takes place at Passover, the Jews’ day of liberation from slavery.  What if the story wants to broaden our expectations beyond one meal?  ... Could the Good News be that, when we offer ourselves to the kind of transformation Jesus brings, even though we may think ourselves insignificant, a new world is possible?
