Mark 8:1-10
“Notice what you notice.” Both Matthew and Mark comment that the crowd has been with Jesus for three days. That in itself is compelling! Three days in the wilderness. It’s not like Billy Graham three-day revivals here in the USA, where that people come to hear him all three days, then go home or to a hotel for the night. They were with Jesus for three days in that “desolate place”, some from far away – and presumably Jesus was preaching and healing their illnesses. Yes, the crowd might have been hungry, but Jesus Himself must have been tired also!! Three days…! In the wilderness of the Decapolis…!! The feeding of the 4,000 is certainly a miracle. But I think Jesus’ ministry for three days is equally compelling!
GLORY!
