filled by grace

Matthew 14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.


What could be found in Jesus? Why would you belong to Jesus? There is an answer: you will be filled by Him. Jesus fulfills the needs of every person.That's not always easy to explain when you try, but on the basis of this text, we want to try that. For in Jesus is indeed to find satiety, He has everything a person needs. And if we do once tast the grace, we will be filled but never satisfied.

It is the miraculous feeding where our text is about. Jesus preached for the people, fivethousand men and also women and children. He told them about himself, about God and the kingdom of God. And he healed their sick. The people listened for hours and it is time to eat. But they are too far from the shops to buy food and eat only food is five loaves and two fish. And Jesus takes the food by him, he asks God to bless it and breaking it into pieces. And there is enough bread for everyone. There even remains bread over twelve baskets full. And the fish was not to get in, because that was all been eating. 

This is typical of Jesus. He knows what people need and he gives them. It's late, they should eat and Jesus gives them to eat. He gives everyone enough, nobody can say that they are hungry, because there is even bread left. The empty bellies of the people are now filled with the bread that Jesus gave them and that is blessed by God. And so Jesus wants to provide with food for the people, if he thinks that is so important, then he will certainly plentiful handing spiritually.

Because Jesus has something more important to give: His grace. Every man needs grace, every human being has, as it were an empty stomach. And Jesus comes to us and offers us His grace. We don't need to do something, because he did it. He gives the grace that will satisfy our spiritual emptiness. And there's plenty for everyone, for so God loved the world. Not just a few people, but everyone. God loves everyone and offers everyone His grace. That you may be saved and saturated by Him. Then you will be satisfied, your spiritual void is filled and every tasting of His grace. You will never want anything else.

Jesus fills us every day. He does this through His Word, which He speaks to us and His love and mercy rich offering for sinners and working out. But he does it with people around you, you can support and help people who are there for you. It is through spiritual music, which you are to pure worship and He fills your heart with the lyrics about Him. It may by nature, which God's omnipotence and majesty is shown. Yes, Jesus fills us every day. Do you see it? Let you satisfy Him?


The filling by His grace is what changes people. Because if we experience His love and see His greatness and work on us, we can only flooding of him. Praise than His great name and worship Jesus!
