Mark 8-9

Sometimes in life we are so concerned about the things of the creation that we leave the Creator behind. When he fed the 4,000, the disciples had seven loaves of bread. Jesus prayed and the loaves of bread were enough to feed the 4,000 and there were seven basketfuls of broken pieces left over.

Once the disciples went away they forgot to bring the bread and Jesus took the opportunity to teach them about believing in Him, Jesus, the bread of life. He reminded them of what he did feeding the 5,000 and the 4,000 but still they could not understand that Jesus was God himself and the Creator of heaven & earth.

In their way to Capernaum, Jesus asked the disciples: "What were you arguing about on the road? But they kept quiet because of the way they had argued about who was the greatest". Jesus again took the opportunity to teach them and told them: "If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all". Let us give praise to our God. It is all about Him and not us. Jesus is the example to follow. He himself is the Creator and the one to honor in everything we do or say. Praise Him!
