January 4 - Tuesday after Epiphany or January
1 John 4:7-10 / Psalm 72:1-2, 3-4, 7-8 / Mark 6:34-44
Amazed by Grace
What amazes me most about this miraculous feeding is not that we begin with five loaves and two fish and satisfy a crowd of 5000 men plus who knows how many women and children. What amazes me most is that there are twelve baskets of leftovers. In other words, they did not merely have enough. They were satisfied. The reading doesn’t say that they managed to throw a meal together by making do with what they had. The passage indicates there was an excess of supply – more at the end than what they started with.
I assume his disciples were as amazed at this as I am.
