The month of January has truly been exciting for the ministry of Springhill Baptist Church! The Lord has added 13 to our membership and we have been informed of decisions made by members concerning their personal service to the Lord. It is thrilling to witness lives being yielded to Christ and to see how Christ will use ‘Just One’.

There was an occasion, during the personal ministry of Christ, when a great multitude

had assembled in advance of Jesus arrival. Jesus was moved with compassion as He looked upon such a great number, the number of men was 5,000, and Jesus would give Himself to the needs of this great number for hours.

The disciples came to Jesus and said that He needed to dismiss the crowd for it was time for the evening meal. Their advice to Him was to tell everyone to go into the cities, and villages, and buy themselves some food. Jesus asked His disciples, “Where can we buy some food to feed them?” Philip answered and said to Jesus, “If we had eight months of salary we couldn’t feed this multitude.”

A key to this lesson is found in John 6:6, “…Jesus knew what He would do.” We all need to be assured that Jesus is the answer to the circumstances we are dealing with even if it seems out of touch for us.

Andrew told Jesus that all he knew about was one young lad who had brought his own meal which was ‘five barely loaves and two SMALL fishes’. Jesus had the crowd to be seated and blessed the meal and then had the disciples to distribute the food among the multitude. When everyone had been filled the fragments that were left filled twelve baskets.

This was certainly a Jesus moment! I challenge all of us not to overlook the lad! This young lad was ‘JUST ONE’ in a multitude but he was willing to give Jesus what he had! Little is much when God is in it and each ‘ONE’ of us will be amazed how Jesus can use what we have if we will give it to Him!

“SEE YOU SUNDAY!”
