IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TOPIC: REMEMBER CHRIST.
TEXT: 2 Timothy 2:7-8
I. Remember Christ’s Provision (Matt. 16:8-10)
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked, "O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? 9Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? 10Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?”).
A. Here we see a picture of the disciples of Christ just not “getting it.”
In this passage Jesus is warning them to be careful of the Pharisees and the
Sadducees—because their teaching was contrary to the Word of God.
But the illustration Jesus used made them realize that they didn’t bring any bread, and the disciples began to worry.
B. Then Jesus reminded them of how He provided for them, as He asked, “Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand and how many basketfuls you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?”
C. Here Jesus is reminding them that He will supply their needs. He is sufficient enough to take care of them, just as He had done in the past.
D. I think than many of us need to be reminded of the provision of God from time to time. No matter what the need is. He is able to handle it. In Paul’s
letter to the Philippians, he writes, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:19). It wasn’t just a promise to the church in Philippi, it is a promise to us today
As you step out today, in any situation remember that God is able.
LET US PRAY
DEAR LORD JESUS CHRIST, LET TODAY BE THE END OF EVERY UGLY SITUATION IN OUR LIFE IN JESUS NAME
