Jesus the prophet

2nd Kings 4:42-44, "42 A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, “Give to the men, that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44 So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord."

Matthew 14:15-20, "15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But Jesus said, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children."

Jesus, You are the perfect prophet. Like Elisha who has gone before You feed the hungry and raise the dead. Show me today from Your word and in Your power that You are trustworthy. You will take care of my needs. You will take care of me in death. Father, I praise You for Jesus. Your compassion, wisdom, and holiness are displayed perfectly in Him. He gives the bread I need to live and He himself is the bread of life. May I follow Him faithfully today. May my brothers and sisters at Mambrino Baptist Church follow Christ faithfully today. Make us bold. Make us true to You.

In Jesus' name
Amen
