Daily Bible Reading–January 2021 God's Word of LifeՕրինակ

January 8

Introduction

Jesus crosses Lake Galilee, and a large crowd follows him. A young boy offers his food of five barley loaves and two fish, and Jesus is able to provide food for all the people. In the evening the disciples go back across the lake toward Capernaum, and Jesus approaches their boat walking on the water.

Today's Scripture Reading 

John 6:1-24

Today’s Key Verse: John 6:11

Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.

Reflect

Imagine yourself among the 5,000 who were miraculously fed. What would be your thoughts? What do you think the boy in today’s story might have told people when he returned home? Today’s reading ends with the people looking for Jesus. Why? 

Pray

Lord Jesus, I seek you every day. Feed and nourish me with your life-giving Word. Amen.
