Father Nissen's message on July 26, 2009

The texts for today are two: John 6: 1 - 21 and Mark 6: 45 - 52.

Jesus came to the disciples walking on the water. Jesus would not leave his followers in a difficult time nor will he leave us.

This story ties into the feeding of the 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish. Jesus did not leave all those people, either. he fed them with teachings of God's love and healed the sick. He then fed them with food.

Jesus' feeding the 5,000 is a great miracle. It can also be said that Jesus inspired those people who probably were not so generous to share with others. Either thought is certainly a miracle. In this time of recession there is much hurt and uneasiness. We can feed each other be being interested in each others' welfare. This is food indeed: helping others live in hope.

This way Jesus will come walking to us from the altar of Holy Communion to our church gatherings as we share faith-filled words with one another. Just as he did when he walked across the water to meet his disciples in the boat.
