Mark 6:30-56
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late. 36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”
They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages[a]! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”
38 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”
When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
Jesus Walks on the Water
45 Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
47 Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.
Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 51 Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed, 52 for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
53 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. 55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed

“To be strengthened with might through His Spirit into the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love.” EPHESIANS 3:16-17
The Christian life is not merely a matter of receiving Christ and knowing that we have eternal life and will go to heaven. Although none of these matters are wrong, they are short of the divine thought. God’s full thought when we receive Christ is that a new source be established within us for our entire being. This new source is our regenerated human spirit (John 3:6). Having a change of source is the most central thing in our regeneration. To have a source-change means that we no longer live to ourselves, but to God. We no longer live by the self, but by His life. What naturally follows the new birth of our spirit is a progressive transfer of source in our daily life. For this transfer, it is necessary to pass through experi- ences with the Lord in which the old source, the self, is dealt with, and the new source, our spirit, gains the ascendancy.
According to 1 Thessalonians 5:23, man’s being is composed of spirit, soul, and body. Before regeneration, although our spirit exists within us as a potentiality, it is in a dead condition (Eph. 2:1). So the source of our living is not our spirit, but our soul, composed of our mind, emotion, and will. But when the Lord enters into us, our spirit is born and we have an inner rearrangement of our being. The mind, emotion, and will are no longer to take the lead to determine our living. The leading part of our being now becomes our regenerated spirit, where we are joined to the Lord (1 Cor. 6:17). It is from this Christ-indwelt center that all the parts of our soul will find their proper place and function. Formerly, we were an independent self that did our own things, thought our own thoughts, made our own decisions. But once our center changes, all this is transformed. Christ comes in to make His home in our hearts and rearrange all our inward parts.
