You give them something to eat
Mark 6:30-44
Key Verse: 6:37a
But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”
1. When the “apostles” reported to Jesus, what did he suggest and do (30-32)? When meeting an unexpected and desperate crowd, how did Jesus respond (33-34)? Why? What do you learn here about Jesus?
2. What does the disciples’ suggestion reveal about them (35-36)? What surprising command did Jesus give them (37a)? What was he teaching them? How did Jesus help them to obey and participate in what Jesus
was doing (37b-40)?
3. Read verse 41. How did Jesus bless the five loaves and two fish? What did Jesus reveal about himself as the Messiah who meets the practical needs of people (42-44)? What does Jesus want his disciples to learn?
4. How does Jesus’ command shape your life of mission? In what ways do the word of Jesus “you give them something eat” inform your mission, house church, and ministry?
