The Boy Who Shared His Lunch With Jesus

The Boy Who Shared His Lunch With Jesus is a real story about a little boy who gave up his food to allow Christ to feed thousands of people. The disciples recorded this unselfish act, and the little boy went down in history, forever more remembered where the gospel is preached.

The lesson is that little children can participate in the Kingdom of God by giving and that God treasures their contributions, regardless of the type.

 It was a nice sunny day and Jesus was teaching in a mountain. There was a boy who wanted to see Jesus. Maybe he went alone or with his family, but he was one of a huge crowd of over five thousand people.

His mother packed   his lunch bag with two little fish and 5 bread rolls.  He soon forgot about them though.

Jesus told stories about God  and did many amazing miracles.  The boy listened and paid rapt attention. 

He loved Jesus. The Lord Jesus told the people to ‘love one another.’ The boy forgot to eat his  lunch.

It was time to go home, but everyone was hungry and they had no

food.  Jesus had had a discussion with His disciples about feeding the crowd.

Finally, Andrew told the Lord that there was a little boy with  food. It was really a small amount, just five loaves and two fishes.

How could that feed the huge crowd of people?

Jesus said to His helpers, ‘Tell everyone to sit down on the grass.’

The boy gave his lunch to Jesus to share. He only had 2 little fish and 5 bread  rolls.

It was not enough for  everyone. What would Jesus do? Jesus gave thanks then broke the food into pieces.

The Lord told His disciples to share the food to everyone. His helpers gave it to everyone to eat.

‘Thank you Jesus,’ they  said. When they had all eaten there were 12

baskets left over!

The boy ran home to tell his mother about giving his lunch to Jesus. 'And there were heaps left over! That’s a miracle!   Look!’

1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, ``Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"

6 This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.

7 Philip answered Him, ``Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

9 ``There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"

10 Jesus said, ``Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

12 When they were filled, He said to His disciples, ``Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."

13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with 

fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
