Day 1: Who is Jesus?

Jesus feeds 5000 people and ask people who do they think he is

This is in the Bible in Luke Chapter 9

Lots of people have different ideas about Jesus and who he is.
Maybe you think he is a great bloke or maybe he’s just weird and boring, or maybe a fairy tale! The Bible tells us who he really is. Today we saw one of the many things Jesus did which shows us he is way more than any of those. Jesus had done some amazing things and was also teaching people about God, but a lot of people were confused about who Jesus was.

They really had no idea! Some said, “Is he John the Baptist? Maybe he has come back to life?” Others said “Nah, Nah, Nah I think he is the Prophet Elijah” “Nah, I think he is another Prophet”

One day Jesus was talking to his disciples when a massive crowd appeared. Jesus was pleased to see them and he started to teach them about God & his amazing Kingdom.

Jesus talked for a very long time, and it got very late. And so Jesus’ disciples thought he ought to send the crowd away, “Jesus it is really, really late, and everyone is getting very hungry and tired. Send the crowd into the village, so they can find food and a place to stay the night!”

But Jesus said “You give them something to eat!” “How can we do that? We only have 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish! Do you want us to go and buy food for all these people! There are 5000 men here! And that is not counting all the women and children!” they replied.

Jesus told them to get the crowd to sit down in groups of about 50 each. Then Jesus took the 5 loaves and the 2 fish and thanked God for them.
Jesus then gave the disciples the loaves and the fish, and they handed them out to the people. The disciples handed out the food, and each time they handed the people some food, there was more. Every single person had enough to eat, and even when they were full, there was more food. There was even 12 baskets of food left over! This was a miracle and only God can do miracles. So Jesus does miracles to help people see he is God’s Son.

Jesus after this miracle asked his disciples who the people thought he was. Their answer showed the crowd was confused, “Well some say John the Baptist, others say the Prophet, Elijah, and others say another Prophet” Then Jesus asked them the question “But what about you, who do you say I am?” Peter then spoke up “Jesus, you are the Christ of God, the one who is sent from God as king.” Peter had understood who Jesus is, he had seen the miracle and knew that Jesus was God’s Son and King.

As you listen to this true story will you believe that Jesus is God’s Son and King? If you are not sure why don’t you listen to more of the true stories about Jesus?
