John 6:12-15
When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.” So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten. Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone.
After miraculously feeding 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, The disciples gather up the "leftovers". Why are there leftovers? Try to place yourself in this crowd. How would you feel looking on as disciples come around to you with the all you can eat bread & fish buffet, and then see them collecting leftovers? All of this blessing came from so very little. We cannot fathom what God is able to do in and through our lives. He is able to bless infinitely, to change hearts infinitely. Jesus is MORE than enough for each one of us. He truly is the bread of life.
