Friday's FeastAugust 28, 2026
A feast of Fish and Bread
By Bo
John 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.
4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9 “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So, the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them [b]to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Today we may not think of bread and fish being a "Feast" for Friday but think of what it must have been like to dine with Jesus from a meal that He created from nearly nothing. I would guess it tasted better than any fish or bread any of us has ever eaten.
Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
We all eat daily for our physical bodies but even more importantly we need to feed our spirit as that is who we are eternally. Notice Jesus shared the meal with over 5000. We can hare here daily on LIVEHIM if we will just take the time to do so. What "bread" do you have in you that someone else needs today. Don't hide it away to be get and moldy. Share with us that we may dine on it also.
