Miracle #5 – Feeding 5000 People – Mark 6:30-44

1. How do you think the disciple’s attitudes changed as they collected the left-overs? 

• Amazed
• From doubt to amazement
• How to deal with the leftovers
• We also talked about the word used for how those fed by Jesus felt after eating. The two most common terms in the Gospels are: Satisfied and Filled. We thought satisfied, not only full but full of good stuff) was the best.

2. How does that apply to issues in your life?

• Doubt and panic are of little/no value.
• Through God, you can do anything.
• When we can’t see one, God can make a way.

What’s the significance of the twelve baskets? 

• 12 disciples  12 tripes of Israel.
• Twelve is an important number in the Bible, including Revelations.
• Jesus was reforming a new Israel.

Where’d they come from?

• Jews carried them routinely on trips.
• There were like backpacks.

BONUS THOUGHT:

“Who was this miracle for?” was also asked by the class. The general discussion suggested the disciples were the target more than those who were fed.
