He Gives that We May Give

Matthew 14:19 KJV
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

This passage models the Lord's means of providing for the needs of souls.

Christ had compassion
Though He had reason to want nothing to do with people, He had compassion upon them

Christ asked for their little
We have so little to offer either the world or the Saviour but He began his supply by taking up their little

Christ blessed the little and gave it to his disciples
The little was not their own. It was given of the ladies, but the Lord blessed it and gave to the disciples

The disciples gave it to the people
It wasn't for the disciples to keep but to give away. As they did so, the needs of the people were met and more
