Jesus Responsed - Not Reacted
When urgency rises, we often feel pressure to act fast. But in Gospel of John 6:5–13, Jesus shows us a different way. Faced with a hungry crowd and an impossible need, He did not move from panic — He moved from trust. He gave thanks and acted from His relationship with the Father. The need was...
