Bread from Heaven!

I was listening to a podcast sermon from Mark Meynell of All Souls, Langham Place, London (and I recommend subscribing to their sermon series on iplayer) and he made one of those blindingly obvious observations which had slipped me by.
He was looking at the fact that there have always been people who hate Jesus, and often that's because they can't figure out who he was and is. Looking at the feeding of the 4000 (who were mainly Gentiles) he compared Jesus' actions with that of God the Creator. Jesus gave the people literally bread from heaven, just as God the Father had done for the people of Israel wandering through the wilderness!
So here was Jesus, the Creator!
Well, I thought it was a wonderful picture!
Incidentally, if you are interested in God and Creation I have a series of Bible studies which look at this area, and from a Celtic Christianity angle. It's called Connexions and is available as a downloadable ebook.

There is background reading included (with an overview of Celtic Christianity), leader's notes, and each study can be printed off onto 3 sides of A4 (permission is given to print for study).

The studies include an image to focus the mind, notes to stimulate thought, and some often challenging questions to generate discussion. Also included are prayers/meditations for the close of a meeting.
