Mark 8:1-21

The first time he fed the 5,000 it was by the Sea of Galilee but this time He’s in the Decapolis where all the gentiles are. He came for the Jew first and then the Greek. The significance of the number 7 in VS 5 & 8: to be full and completed, satisfy, plenty, etc. The world was completed in seven days. If authors in the bible go through the trouble of telling you a number then that number means something, pay attention. What is he trying to say? When He is there with them they are complete (and when he later sends the Holy Spirit to them they are complete). That He came to earth to save everyone completely. He came to fill everything. All parts of you. Let Him take control of all of all parts of you to fill you till you’re overflowing (like the 7 remaining baskets). He’s also saying with the left over baskets that He is more than enough. Also He met the Gentiles where they were at, He didn’t wait till they came to Him, He went to them, He went into paganville.

He has no beginning and no end, unlike everything else in the world, books , movies, life, etc..
