The Feeding Miracles and Their Connection To Prophecy

# 490 - Today's Du-votional comes from: Mr 8:9 “Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,

There is one other very important lesson that we can take away from the miraculous feeding of the 9000. These miracles were meant for more than just satisfying growling tummies. They were performed for us so that we might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Christ, the Son of the Living God, for it is God who “gives food to the hungry.” Listen to these prophetic statements about Jesus found in Ps 146:5-8,

“Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord his God who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; who executes justice for the oppressed, WHO GIVES FOOD TO THE HUNGRY The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; ”

Why was Jesus performing these miracles? Why were the crippled lifted back onto their feet? Why were the blind given sight? Why were the demon possessed set free? And why were the hungry given food miraculously? Because these miracles in conjunction with Ps 146: 5-8 and other Old Testament passages, point to Jesus as God.

Miracles point. It's why they're called signs. Believe in whom they point to and be saved. Jn 20:30,31, that these signs were written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ.

Father, thank You for Your sure prophetic word. Thank You for pointing me to Jesus, may I be an instrument to do the same. In Jesus name, Amen
