Today we will learn about a blessed mother who packed a lunch of two small fishes and five loaves of bread that her little boy pictured above gave to the Lord Jesus to feed five thousand people. A miracle happened when the Lord Jesus fed the five thousand people with the two fishes and five loaves of bread. And after all the people were filled by the food, twelve baskets holding fragments of the fish and bread were gathered. This proves that the Lord Jesus not only supplies our needs. The Lord Jesus will give us exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. Ephesians 3:20 says Now unto Him (Jesus) that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.
The story about the picture above where God used a little lad with two fishes and five loaves of bread to feed five thousand people is found at John 6:5. When Jesus then lifted up His eyes, and saw a great company come unto Him, He saith unto Phillip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this He said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He would do. Phillip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
John 6:8 goes on to say One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place; So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and when He had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. When they were filled, He said unto His disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
A Blessed Summary Of How Jesus Fed 5000
First There Was A Bread Problem
Then There Was A Budget Proposed
Then There Was A Boy Presented
Finally There Was A Bounty Provided
Let's learn how the little lad's mom was important by packing a lunch of fishes and bread for her child to give to Jesus to feed five thousand. Pictured above, the little boy's mom caught and cleaned the fish that she put in the little boy's lunch. If mama didn't catch and clean the fish, the little boy would have nothing to give to Jesus to feed five thousand people. We should all praise unnoticed godly mothers who train their children to bless everyone.
I pray in Jesus name that we can be like this blessed mother by doing things behind the scenes to bless multitudes of people. Mama also placed bread (representing the Word of God Jesus) in the little boy's lunch bag. Instead of placing an ungodly music CD in the kid's lunch bag, mama told the little boy to give the bread or Word of God to his friends.
Pictured above, I believe the little boys mama wanted to bless all people of all races and backgrounds. This mother taught her little boy to bless the poor and always give them food, clothing, and money. She taught her son James 1:27 that says Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
This little boy remembered mama's teachings and was not selfish, but was willing to give away all of his lunch (all of the two fishes and five loaves of bread) to the Lord Jesus to feed five thousand people. The little boys mama knew the importance of training her child daily about the Word of God and our Lord Jesus. This mother daily trained her child to live for Jesus because she knew that Proverbs 29:15 says The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame. This little boys mama also believed Proverbs 22:6 that says Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
This little boys mother did not allow her son to be around a gossiping baby sitter that watches youtube, facebook, and tiktok all day. Mama daily surrounded this boy with praise music and the Word of God. Mama did not want her child to see the evil shown on youtube, facebook or tiktok. Too many kids today are left by parents who work all day to sit by a cellphone watching wicked gossip on youtube, facebook, and tiktok for hours. Mamas reading this everywhere, program a computer for your kids to hear music and preaching about our Lord Jesus.
Let's all obey Psalm 101:3 saying for us and our children, I will set no wicked thing (anything that is wicked on a cellphone or computer) before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. Instead let's all agree with King David and say Psalm 16:8. I have set the Lord (the Word of God) always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Brother Bob says to parents and children that continously for hours look at their cellphones, facebook, tiktok, and X Twitter, notice the gem pictured above. God has no cellphone, but I talk to Him; He has no facebook, but He's always my friend, and He does not have an X twitter, but I follow Him.
Parents reading this everywhere, remember that our children are important and that it was a little boy that blessed Jesus and five thousand people with food. Train your children to be a blessing and help the poor and needy widows and orphans everywhere. Don't let too much facebook, youtube, and tiktok stop kids from serving the Lord Jesus. Today most kids spend more time on cellphones, facebook, youtube, and tiktok than with the Lord Jesus and the Word of God.
I pray in Jesus name that the kids today can be like the little boy that gave his fish and bread to the Lord Jesus instead of wasting time on cellphones, facebook, youtube, and tiktok. Pastors train up children to be singers and preachers in your churches. Children when you go to church turn off your cellphones and computers and allow Jesus to use you to bless multitudes like the little boy that gave his lunch to the Lord Jesus to bless five thousand people.
One other note about how Jesus fed the multitude with two fishes and five loaves of bread. Notice that a humble disciple named Andrew told Jesus that the little boy had the two fishes and five loaves of bread. Andrew, like the little boy's mama, was also blessing people behind the scenes.
We always hear about Peter, James, and John. But Andrew who is humble and often goes unnoticed is one of Brother Bob's favorite disciples. Andrew led Peter to Jesus and because Peter got saved, Peter preached and was able to save 3000 sinners that had crucified Jesus. If Andrew didn't save Peter, 3000 sinners would not have been saved by Peter. If Andrew didn't tell Jesus about a little boy with two fishes and five loaves of bread, 5000 people would have gone hungry. I pray in Jesus name, we can all be like Andrew and lead multitudes to accept the Lord Jesus, believing that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

Be Like Andrew And Witness Jesus Everywhere And Save Lost Sinners
Get Saved, Repent, Decide To Stop Sinning,
Confess That Jesus Is God, And Believe The Gospel
That Jesus Died On The Cross For You, Was Buried, And Rose Again
One final question for today's bible study. Where did Jesus and His disciples give the twelve baskets of fragments of fish and bread pictured above after the multitude was filled with food? I believe Jesus gave the twelve baskets of fragments of food to the little boy and told the twelve disciples to help the little boy carry the blessed food home to mama. I could see this little boy testifying to mama that because she packed his lunch and trained him to help the poor, Jesus fed five thousand with her packed lunch. Then the little boy would say mama Jesus wanted to thank you for the lunch by creating twelve baskets of extra food to feed you many days, while all the disciples and the little boy rejoiced.
Jesus Also Fed 4000 With Seven Loaves Of Bread And A Few Fish At Decapolis
Mark 6:35-45 Gives Another Account Where Jesus Fed 5000 At Bethsaida
With Five Loaves Of Bread And Two Fishes
On two occasions Jesus created food to feed the multitudes who had nothing to eat. Mark 7:31-8:9 says at Decapolis, Jesus fed 4000 with seven loaves of bread and a few fish. At Bethsaida, Jesus fed 5000 with five loaves of bread and two fish. Matthew 15:35 tells when Jesus fed 4000 who had nothing to eat. And He (Jesus) commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to His disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
Mark 6:35-45 tells how Jesus fed 5000 who had nothing to eat. And when the day was now far spent, His disciples came unto Him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. And He commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided He among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
Note that Jesus turned the desert into green grass when he multiplied the five loaves and two fishes to feed 5000. Whenever Jesus walks on the earth the desert and the wilderness blossom with streams and life. When Jesus rules this earth during the millennium the wilderness and desert will rejoice and blossom. Isaiah 35:1 says The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
Isaiah 35:5-7 says Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
I pray in Jesus name that this bible study blesses multitudes everywhere with great joy, peace, and strength.
