Satisfaction and understanding (8:1-21)

In this message we look at three distinct actions separated by two journeys on the Sea of Galilee during a day in his ministry. First Christ feeds 4000 people, then deals with the Pharisees’ demand for a sign from heaven before teaching his disciples.

We see Christ’s compassion for the hungry, his rejection of those who have a resolute rejection of him due to their hard hearts and his patient method of teaching those who misunderstand.

As we look at the events of this day we need to be continually asking ourselves, do we understand who Jesus Christ is or are our hearts hard?
