Proper 13
Matthew 14.13-21You’ve got what it takes (AAA)
You have all you need. As individuals we have different needs in body, mind and spirit. What has God given so that we might resource, strengthen, encourage, uphold and love one another?
More than enough (CYP)
This passage speaks in various ways of the generosity of God. The most obvious show of generosity is in the way God provides more than enough food for the crowd and there are even leftovers. There is also the generosity of Jesus’ compassion on the crowd who follow him.
Additional resources
Looking back and looking forward (AAA)
Jesus feeds the crowd. The Early Church reflects on its own place in the unfolding of salvation, in a very different way to the teaching of Paul, as story resonates backwards and forwards, linking the tradition of the past with present practice and future promise.
