Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; John 6:1-15
When Jesus feeds thousands, the people want to make him king. They think he is what a king should be ... one who ensures the economy is functioning well, all are fed, big trade surplus! Jesus resists being misunderstood so narrowly as a purely political leader. True, a theme with Jesus is that none should go hungry. Yet, the way to make that happen finally for real is not by economic miracles but by nourishing hungry spirits and souls so that all choose to live well together. When a nation is oriented toward right relationships, none go hungry for bread.
