God will provide


                               The Lord will provide

Mark 8:1-10 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, 
“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 
3  And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” 
And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” 
5  And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 
And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. 
And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. 
8  And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. 
And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. 

10  And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

He came to fulfill - not to abolish


                               Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Mat 5:17 - 20 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 
18  For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 
19  Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 
20  For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Be merciful


Luke 6:36-42  Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful. 
37  “Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; 
38  give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” 
39  He also told them a parable: “Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit? 
40  A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. 
41  Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 
42  How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
