Thought Questions

Why did a huge crowd follow Jesus all these places? Was their reason spiritual, out of love and devotion to Jesus? At that point, knowing what they knew, would they have had a reason to?
How many of the people in the crowd continued to follow Him to His cross and beyond?
Do you think it is acceptable, when beginning a Christian walk, to follow Jesus because others around them are, or because of the miracles they have heard of? Is it a good reason to continue following Him, or at some point should a deeper devotion take place?
What would you have answered if Jesus had asked you how to find food for a crowd?
Why do you think Jesus chose that young boy’s loaves and fishes? What if Andrew hadn’t pointed it out? What do you think Andrew had in mind when he pointed it out?
Why didn’t Jesus want the people to make Him king? What did they have in mind?

My prayer is:
to learn to follow Christ for reasons more than outward miracles;
and that I would have faith to believe that even if I have a little, Christ can multiply it.
