John 6:9 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 6:9

A boy's lunch — probably his whole meal for the day — is offered. It looks laughably small. But in Jesus' hands, the smallest gift becomes extraordinary.

Memory phrase: A small gift, a big miracle.

Talk about it: Have you ever shared something small with someone? What happened?

Prayer: Jesus, take everything I have — even if it seems small — and use it for something amazing.
