Not all of the moments and sayings in the life of Jesus can we read as a sequence of events. We have stories and sayings that we canât always connect. But in todayâs study we can see things in sequence, which adds meaning to the story. This includes the feeding of the 5,000, the rescue of the apostles while they are struggling against great winds on the Sea of Galilee, and the Bread of Life speech which motivated many of Jesusâs followers to desert Him.

As mortals we are on a journey to move from being broken to healed, and it is the Lord who is our attending physician. The stories in the New Testament are not only about the halt, the blind, and the person afflicted with leprosy. They are about us, and our universal need for his healing touch.
Come, Follow Me for Sunday School: “Thy Faith Hath Saved Thee” Matthew 8-9; Mark 2-5
The accounts in these chapters of miraculous healings testify of the calling of Jesus Christ, but there is more.
