DAY TWENTY-TWO – Saturday, March 26, 2022
Matthew 14:13-21
It has been a whole week since I received this scripture reading. During that time, I have read and re-read the passage in not only Matthew, but also the other gospels. We all know the story of the miracle Jesus performed with five loaves and two fish. What else is there in this account for me and maybe you, I have pondered.
Jesus has just been told of the murder of his friend John. He seeks a quiet place to mourn. But soon he is followed and he gets back to his task of healing the sick and feeding the hungry.
During the past few months, we have had to say GOODBYE to several treasured friends and dear relatives. Each day we also hear of the death toll due to covid.
Is the message to take time to mourn, but then honour those you have lost with good works?
God Bless You.
