Reflection for 8/3/20, Mt. 14:13-21
What precedes this passage was read on Saturday: the death of John the Baptist. Both Jesus & John had a mission to advance & make present the Father’s Kingdom. But with John’s death, a new stage is set for Jesus. So Jesus is sorrowful that his cousin has died & Jesus knows that there will be consequences for Him. So Jesus moves to be alone & pray. But the crowds will not leave Him alone. They flock to Him, beg from Him, plead to Him for help; they were putting their hope in Him. Jesus cannot resist their pleads. So Jesus begins to teach them. He works all day long & now the bush wants Disciples realize that they are hungry. Jesus is moved with pity for them; for Him to be moved with pity is to heal, to be considered means to provide sustenance: their lives will be sustained (prolonged) because Jesus offers His people Eternal Life. For Jesus to live means to let live.
Thought Moment: during an earthquake a bank in California went into de-fault.
