February Week 3

Feb 20, 2022

This familiar story is found in John 6:1-13. People had
been clamoring to see Jesus heal and perform miracles.
Even as Jesus crossed over the Sea of Galilee, they
followed him. When Jesus saw them, He didn’t ignore
them or send them away. Instead, Jesus knew they were
tired and hungry. He had compassion for them and
decided to feed them. With no food in sight, a young
boy offers his meal of bread and fish. Jesus takes what
the boy has and feeds the multitude with leftovers!

Bottom Line: Use what you have to help others. Kids
might think they’re too young to make a difference in
how they treat others. This story reminds us that what we
already have has the potential to help others and make a
massive difference to them. We just have to be aware of
others’ needs and be willing to give up what we have to
help them. We pray that kids start to discover the easy
ways to use what they have to show compassion.
