Jesus Feeds The Crowd

As a father feels his children's plight and feeds their hunger.
You felt the need of the crowd and fed them with word-wonder.
Clouds of helplessness within disciples seemed to wander.
You could see Father and Spirit smiling, not so yonder

Bread and fish were less. Your heart, yet, like the cosmos, was broad.
Though your Abba was always with you, his name you did laud
Seated on grass, not for more than a piece of bread, they longed
Finding baskets brimming with excess, who wouldn't be awed?

You taught them, in their need, dependence on the providence.
Your words of comfort created in them clear confidence.
Diligence, patience, and temperance attained prominence.
What else, on this earth, overpowers divine dominance?

Any such deed of yours never ever filled you with pride.
The wish of the crowd to crown you their king, you brushed aside.

Beautiful sonnet showing the empathy of Jesus towards the crowd that followed him. Seeing them hungry and exhausted, he felt sympathy for them. From the meagre number of bread and fish, he multiplied them enough to feed over 5000 people and still there were baskets full of balance. Your poems to glorify God are so much appreciated. Stay blessed .Chris

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts on Jesus feeding the crowd through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

As much as some wanted to crown him king, He already is! It is not a man’s job. The people, willing to listen for a long time to Christ’s words…fed by his words, then given their daily bread (and fish). God bless you, Christuraj!
