“What Do You Have?”
Sunday, September 8, 2024Key Verse
“There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes:” John 6:9a
Text — John 6:4-11
Message
The school bus of one of the Primary and Nursery School was reported to have had an accident on the way back to school. Thank God, none of the pupils was seriously wounded. But as Dorcas carried her school bag to go out of the bus, she heard her friend, Deborah, crying. Dorcas rushed in to help her friend whose left leg was trapped by a twisted iron under the back seat of the bus. Dorcas had pity and took care of her friend. And she joyfully gave what she had to help her. We may not always have material things to give like the boy in our Bible passage. What some children always say is “What I have is not even enough for me.” It shows that you do not want to give. If you are in need, how will you feel if there is nobody willing to help you? The boy gave his food so others should not starve.
What do you have? Somebody needs your help, love, forgiveness and care. But the most precious thing that you can share with your friends is the love of Jesus. Do that today and God will bless you.
