The ways of God sometimes confuse more than they comfort. At times we are painfully aware that Christ’s kingdom “is not of this world.” Thankfully, the Lord unlocks the secrets of his heavenly kingdom using simple, down-to-earth terms. He not only reveals the way his kingdom operates, he also convinces us of its beauty and wisdom. This week we taste the kingdom’s providence. Jesus miraculously provides food for a massive crowd of people. However, even in this extraordinary act, Jesus involves the ordinary. He starts with a boy’s food and employs his disciples as its distributors. In Jesus’ heavenly kingdom, his providence for his creation involves the open hearts and willing hands of his creatures.
