An Appointment with Christ: Multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30) Part 3
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: It is important to take time to rest and replenish our physical and emotional energies. Our bodies and brains need time to recover from constant use, just like a machine needs maintenance. We should take time to reflect on spiritual things and seek God, and not let work consume us. God commanded the Hebrews to keep the Sabbath to rest and reflect, and we should take at least one day to do the same. Going to church and being in fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ can also give us strength for the rest of the week. Let us seek first the Kingdom of God and His justice, and the other things will follow.
Multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30)
In this series, Dr. Miranda speaks of the compassionate Christ who, instead of rejecting the crowd that had followed him and his disciples, had compassion on them and took time to teach them. In contrast, the disciples have a superficial and selfish attitude.

We have talked about the importance of living life in complete intimacy with the person of Jesus Christ, the reliance that is required on God and the Holy Spirit and on Jesus Christ to have a happy, effective, and peace-filled life.
After leaving on their missionary trip, the disciples returned and met Jesus again. It is interesting that when the passage says that they approached Christ, he told them "Come apart, this is in verse 31, come apart, to a deserted place and rest a little", he says "because there were many who went and they came in such a way that they didn't even have time to eat." I like that of the Lord Jesus Christ when the disciples approached Him to share with Him the experiences of the last days, they found that the Lord also wanted to be with them, and He tells them: "boys, let's go to a separate place, we won't Let's talk here, but we are going to take a vacation, we are going to a resting place where we do not have to deal with people, the demands of the ministry and we are going to talk. I want you to rest, I want you to clear your minds and replenish your physical and emotional energies and then we will have the opportunity to share in a deeper way.
