Luke 9:10-17 (4/9/20)
* Look at all notes - go with the “give more in value than you take in pay” angle
* End with note on vs 16 about gratitude.
* In your work you need to give more in value than you take in pay.
* The apostles had just come back from being like Jesus - casting out demons and healing the sick.
* Vs 10 - Jesus tells them to “come apart” with Him.
* We need to come apart or we’ll come apart (Vance Havner).
* Vs 11 - the crowds followed, and He looked on them with compassion.
* So He gave them what He had - the power to bring spiritual and physical health.
* He did it ALL DAY LONG!!!
* Vs 12 - So the disciples were tired - the job was done!
* It’s at that moment, when you feel your job is done, that it’s only just begun!
* Jesus had already given the crowd what they expected, now He was going to give them something they didn’t expect!
* He had already met their intangible needs, now He would meet their tangible! How?
* Vs 13a - Jesus would do it through the disciples.
* But they were empty and weary - God’s miracles are often preceded by our weariness.
* God wants to do something TO you and THROUGH you.
* The disciples listened to Christ’s teaching, now it was time for Him to do something through them.
* Vs 13b - they were willing to give what little they had.
* Vs 14 - Jesus told them to seat the people before He revealed how He would feed them.
* That would be like a host at a restaurant seating people even though she knew there was no food in the back.
* Jesus wanted the disciples focused on WHO, not HOW or WHAT.
* When we ask, “Why, How, What, When, Where, Christ always responds with WHO!”
* Vs 15 - they obeyed because they focused on WHO.
* Vs 16-17 - We all know the miracle that happened, but we often forget the state of mind that preceded it.
* Christ “gave thanks” to God for the provision.
* Gratitude is the fuel you need to accomplish the task at hand.
* It’s what gives you more than your natural ability to do.
* Gratitude releases dopamine and oxytocin in the brain - this motivates you to keep going.
