Congregational Pulpit Mark 6:35-44 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:… I. JESUS CHRIST AFFORDS US ALL OUR FOOD FOR BODILY SUSTENANCE. II. NEEDFUL FOOD IS ENSURED TO HIS TRUE DISCIPLES. III. SEE HOW CHRIST WOULD HAVE US RECEIVE OUR FOOD. 1. With thankfulness and decorum. 2. With generous distribution of it to others. 3. With frugal care of it. IV. THE MIRACLE IS A TYPE OF GOSPEL PROVISIONS FOR THE SOULS OF MEN. 1. Christ gives us spiritual food; as truth, righteousness, and love. 2. He distributes it through His ministering servants, and it multiplies in their hands. 3. It is superabundantly enough for all mankind. Therefore — (1) Come and eat with all thankfulness. (2) Freely hand it round to others. (Congregational Pulpit.)
