Christ in a Fourfold Aspect
Luke 9:13-17
But he said to them, Give you them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes…


I. Christ in MIRACULOUS BENEFICENCE. Omnipotence is ever instinct with love.

II. Christ in SOCIAL ORDER. Not a God of confusion.

III. Christ in FRUGAL ARRANGEMENT. Nothing in nature runs to waste.

IV. Christ in the PATRONAGE OF HOSPITALITY. "Give ye them to eat." Help each other. Conclusion: Follow Christ in all this.

(D. Thomas, D. D.)
