Story
Jesus is the very epitome of kindness and virtue. Here is a beautiful story that showcases these very characteristics.

One day, Jesus was holding a congregation near a mountain. There were nearly 5000 people gathered there to hear Jesus and watch his miracles.

Many of these people were poor and hungry. But their faith was strong. They stayed on for the day, just listening to their savior without a complaint.

But Jesus’ heart was filled with kindness. So he said to his disciple Philip “we must feed these people.” But Philip told Jesus that they didn’t have enough money to feed all these people.

On hearing this, Another of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, said, “there is a little food we have – five loaves of bread and two fish. But we cannot feed 5000 people with this food.”

But Jesus, the miracle maker, didn’t utter a word. He took the food and blessed it. Then he began to distribute the food among his followers. And the food refused to run out!

All the 5000 people ate to their heart’s content and still there were 12 bucketfuls of leftover food remaining!

Seeing this miracle, the gathered people tried to make Jesus their King. What they didn’t know yet was that Jesus was God’s son!

Lesson
