Deep Lessons Learned
Text: John 6:12-14
DEEP LESSONS LEARNED
Jesus did not just perform an outstanding miracle. He had taught many deep and precious lessons to both the multitude and His own disciples.
“So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, ‘Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.’ Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, ‘This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.’”

学到深刻的教训
耶稣不只是行了伟大的神迹，祂也教了众人和祂自己的门徒许多深刻和宝贵的教训。
“他们吃饱了，耶稣对门徒说：‘把剩下的零碎收拾起来，免得有糟蹋的。’他们便将那五个大麦饼的零碎，就是众人吃了剩下的，收拾起来，装满了十二个篮子。 众人看见耶稣所行的神迹，就说：‘这真是那要到世间来的先知！’”
