Read John 6:1-21 with your family.

This week we bounce over to the Gospel of John. The biggest difference between the Gospels of Mark and John is that in Mark, no one is supposed to know who Jesus really is until the end, while in the Gospel of John, everyone knows who Jesus is from the very beginning.

Amongst all of those who followed Jesus were children and teenagers. This story tells us about one teenager who shared his lunch, but he was also a teenager who trusted God and knew that God would take care of him. He was right. Jesus made sure the boy ate well, and there was enough for everyone plus leftovers.

Trusting God to give us what we need is a scary thing to do. It is one of the hardest things any Christian is asked. But God tells us again and again that we can trust and what we need will be provided. It will probably be the last minute and it might not be in the way we thought it would happen, but God will always be part of the solution to our problems.
