| Mat 15:29 | Setelah meninggalkan daerah itu, Yesus menyusur pantai danau Galilea dan naik ke atas bukit lalu duduk di situ. |
| Mat 15:30 | Kemudian orang banyak berbondong-bondong datang kepada-Nya membawa orang lumpuh, orang timpang, orang buta, orang bisu dan banyak lagi yang lain, lalu meletakkan mereka pada kaki Yesus dan Ia menyembuhkan mereka semuanya. |
| Mat 15:31 | Maka takjublah orang banyak itu melihat orang bisu berkata-kata, orang timpang sembuh, orang lumpuh berjalan, orang buta melihat, dan mereka memuliakan Allah Israel. |
| Mat 15:32 | Lalu Yesus memanggil murid-murid-Nya dan berkata: "Hati-Ku tergerak oleh belas kasihan kepada orang banyak itu. Sudah tiga hari mereka mengikuti Aku dan mereka tidak mempunyai makanan. Aku tidak mau menyuruh mereka pulang dengan lapar, nanti mereka pingsan di jalan." |
| Mat 15:33 | Kata murid-murid-Nya kepada-Nya: "Bagaimana di tempat sunyi ini kita mendapat roti untuk mengenyangkan orang banyak yang begitu besar jumlahnya?" |
| Mat 15:34 | Kata Yesus kepada mereka: "Berapa roti ada padamu?" "Tujuh," jawab mereka, "dan ada lagi beberapa ikan kecil." |
| Mat 15:35 | Lalu Yesus menyuruh orang banyak itu duduk di tanah. |
| Mat 15:36 | Sesudah itu Ia mengambil ketujuh roti dan ikan-ikan itu, mengucap syukur, memecah-mecahkannya dan memberikannya kepada murid-murid-Nya, lalu murid-murid-Nya memberikannya pula kepada orang banyak. |
| Mat 15:37 | Dan mereka semuanya makan sampai kenyang. Kemudian orang mengumpulkan potongan-potongan roti yang sisa, tujuh bakul penuh. |
REFLEKSI
Belas kasihan Tuhan Yesus merupakan cinta Nya kepada umat manusia, Tuhan Yesus tidak bisa diam ketika melihat betapa banyak Nya pengikut nya kelaparan bahkan mengkhawatirkan mereka bisa pingsan apabila pulang dalam keadaan perut kosong. Oleh sebab itu Tuhan Yesus mengadakan mukjizat 5 roti dan 2 ikan menjadi ribuan lebih dimakan oleh semua sampai mereka semua kenyang.
Menjadi pengikut Yesus akan mendapatkan belas kasihan dari Tuhan Yesus, Ia tidak akan rela melihat anak Nya kelaparan, Tuhan Yesus pasti akan menyediakan makanan untuk orang yang percaya kepada Nya. Dalam mukjizat ini dibuktikan bahwa kasih cinta Nya melebihi apapun, kasih cinta Nya begitu hidup kepada manusia. Pria, Wanita dan anak - anak semua Nya kenyang.
Untuk itu kita sebagai pengikut Kristus harus percaya kepada Tuhan Yesus Kristus, bahwa ia peduli , ia peduli sampai memperhatikan kita, Tuhan Allah itu maha penyayang, bahkan sampai sehelai rambut pun Tuhan akan hitung agar selamat Apabila kita menaati ajaran - ajaran Tuhan Yesus dan melaksanakan Nya.
DOA
Ya Tuhan Belask kasihan Mu kepada umat manusia begitu besar
Ribuan orang Engkau beri makan
Aku percaya bahwa diri ku pun Engkau beri makan ya Tuhan
Karena aku pengikut Mu
Aku akan coba untuk setia selalu
Sama seperti Engkau yang mengasihi aku
Amen.
ENGLISH
29 Jesus went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the mountain and sat down there.
30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them,
31 so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."
33 And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?"
34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,
36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
37 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
REFLECTION
The compassion of Lord Jesus is His love for humanity. Lord Jesus cannot stand idly by when He sees how many of His followers are hungry, even worrying that they might faint if they go home on empty stomachs. Therefore, Lord Jesus performed the miracle of turning 5 loaves and 2 fish into thousands, enough for everyone to eat until they were satisfied.
Being a follower of Jesus will receive His compassion. He will not allow His children to go hungry, and He will provide food for those who believe in Him. This miracle proves that His love exceeds everything; His love is so alive for humanity. Men, women, and children—all were satisfied.
As followers of Christ, we must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, that He cares, He cares enough to pay attention to us. God is merciful, and even a single hair He will count for our salvation if we obey the teachings of Lord Jesus and follow Him.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, Your mercy towards humanity is so great.
You fed thousands of people.
I believe that You also provide for me, Lord,
Because I am Your follower.
I will strive to remain faithful,
Just as You love me.
Amen.
