Jesus is alive

  John 6, 8 and 9, one of his disciples, Andrew Simon peters's brother, said to him, there is a boy who has five barley loves and two fish, but what are they for so many?  Here we see Andrew, who found a boy having five loaves of bread and two fishes. The boy would have brought it for himself to eat, but he was prepared to give his lunch to Jesus. 
The problem they faced was how to meet the needs of such a vast crowd of people four solutions were proposed.  First, the disciples suggested that Jesus sent the people away get rid of the problem, but Jesus knew that the hungry people would faint on the way if somebody did not feed them.  Second solution came from Philip in response to our Lord's test question, where do we buy bread so that these people may eat?  His answer was raise enough money to buy food for the people. Philip counted the cost and decided they would need the equivalent of 200 days of wages of one person, and even that would not provide food enoug...

Praise the lord today's Bible  verse is from John 6 verse 7 Philip answered him 200 denari worth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one of them may have a little. Denaris denoted a Roman silver coin equivalent to a labor's average daily wage. So Philip answered Jesus eight months wages would not buy enough food for each each one to have a bite. Notice that Jesus asked where shall we buy food? and Philip really does not answer Jesus that question. 
Philip responded with what he perceived was a greater, far greater problem than they were and that was, with what were is the money going to come from for the large crowd? Philip looked at the problem in terms of meeting the minimum requirement, even a little from each man is impossible, but Jesus wanted to give them in appendance with 12 baskets left over. Philip thought that the answer was money. 
Philip sees only the situation, not the possible solution who was Jesus.  The apostle's concern once again exhibited the ...

Today's verse is from John 6:5,6 lifting up his eyes then and seeing that a large crowd was coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat he said this to test him, for himself knew what he would do.  John recorded that Jesus approached Philip about the need of food. The other gospel does't say this. 
John does not mention several details found in the other gospels. Matthew and Mark say that Jesus had compassion on them. Luke says he spoke to them about the kingdom of God and cured those who are in need of healing. 
While John did not use the word "compassion, clearly Jesus question to Philip reflected his compassion for the large crowd.  He asked Philip because he was from Bethesda, which was near the place where they were. And if Jesus asked a question to someone, it is not for information. He knew everything. This was for them to think. He already knew what he was about to do. 
This was Philip to understand the magnitude ...

Praise the Lord today's verse is from John 6 chapter verse three and four  Jesus went up to the mountain and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the passover, the feast of the Jews was at hand.  Jesus went up to the mountain, seems to express a desire for solitude. However, the crowd found them and gathered there.  Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews was at hand. This is the second passover mentioned in the book of John. The first was in John 2:13, when Jesus was in the temple, where he drove out the people selling oxen, sheep, and pigeons in the temple  In John 6:4, this would have been the second passover mentioned in John’s gospel and therefore the completion of the second year of Jesus ministry.  The third passover was written in John 1:21. This Passover was the crucification of Jesus in Jerusalem, when Jesus became the Passover lamb.  The Jewish Passover is the celebration of the exodus from Egypt. The The celebration was the slaughter of a l...

​ Praise the lord today's verses from John 6 verse 2  “And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.” ‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬ ‭ESV‬‬  It becomes clear that enumerous crowds and searching enthusiasm are not always evidence of spiritual validity. One of the main reasons people were following Jesus is that he was performing many miracles. 
It is impossible for us to comprehend or realise the magnitude of this miracles, and what must have happened at these meetings, to think of blind eyes instantly being opened, with lepers instantly cleansed, and all manners of diseases instantly healed must have brought a joy unparallelled in the history of humanity.   So we might describe many of this large crowd may be disciples. However, as the story unfolds, we see soon that the crowd who followed him did not obey his command to count the cost and follow him. 
In the later part of this chapter in verse 66 we read “After this, many of the dis...

Praise the Lord. Today's verse is from John 5:45.  Do you think that I will accuse you to the Father,  there is one who accuses you, Moses, on whom you have set your hope.  Jesus said, I do not accuse you to the Father, John 3:17 says, for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.  Moses was the greatest leader that the Israel people had. They had set their hope in him. Moses had written the first five books of the Bible. This is called Torah, which is considered the greatest of the books of the Bible by the Jews. When the Israelities were slaves under Egypt, they cried unto God.Exodus  2:23,24 The people of Israel groaned because of their slavery, and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue, from slavery, came up to God. God heard their groaning, and remembered his covenant, and sent Moses to deliver them.  Moses led them out of Egypt, and when they were faced with the...
