Remember the two dinner parties reviewed in the Society section ''Matthew’s Story of Jesus'' (chapter 14)?
Forget the first one. The one where Herod's hairy-knuckl'd wait staff brought in the final course on a gold platter: John the Baptist's head.
It's the second dinner Party I'm interested in. The one where Jesus served 5,000 men, not counting women and children. The menu was bread and fish. They counted five loaves of bread and two fish.
But somehow it was enough, more than enough. It was a dinner party of joy, welcome, and WHOA! plenty. The whole evening was pure miracle. The underachieving, overwhelmed Twelve couldn't believe their eyes! Because when they counted up what they had on-hand that day 2,000 years ago, they counted:
one,
two,
three,
four,
five loaves of bread, and
one,
two little fish.
two,
three,
four,
five loaves of bread, and
one,
two little fish.
But they should've kept counting.
They forgot to count Jesus.
And Jesus means anything is possible.
All that is left is Adoration!
I love you.

A beautiful reminder that ADORATION is the only appropriate response when Jesus moves.
ReplyDeleteAnd thankful tonight that “you can’t keep a good man down”! ❤️ This message was spot on.
I love this story!! I was talking to Katy and JOe tonight about all this and I told them its time for Christians and Conservatives and any others that feel our World is forgetting why we were created and WHO created us and the end plan for us to join HIM. Christinas need to stand up and say NO, or YES, whatever the case may be, but we need to quit hiding hoping no one see's us for who we are... Its time to create a wave of standing up to be counted and short of in your face... but upset the apple cart... if the ill brained millennials can do it "by GOD" we can do it... we may be FEW, but we have JESUS!!! I love you Kenny and I am so glad to be present in our "Church in the Air"!!!
