How Jesus navigated politics in HIS day

Jesus feeding the 5,000 comes with a deep question about how Christians navigate politics.

In Mark 6, Jesus feeds five thousand people with five loaves and two fish. The miracle echoes the prophet Elisha, who fed one hundred people by the word of the Lord. Jesus feeds fifty times as many—and shows us that he is greater than Elisha because he is Lord.The miracle also stands in sharp contrast to Herod’s banquet, an exclusive feast that ended in death. Jesus welcomes ordinary people to his table, and his feast brings life.So what does it mean to be a Christian? Is it about getting invited to the right banquet, voting for the right president, or wearing the right color hat? Jesus is Lord, greater than every political party and power. He isn’t a donkey or an elephant. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.Join us as we consider what Jesus’ miraculous meal reveals about his kingdom—and who is welcome at his table.
