Parish Newsletter Saturday 27th July and Sunday 28th July 2024Jesus Christ is the fulfilment of the Old Testament prophets. Signs are important. In the past few years, as the Melbourne’s road and public transport systems are being upgraded to accommodate the growing population, we have seen signs along the highways and roads telling us what is ahead of us, be it road or rail work. The state government promises that in a few years’ time, we would have faster, more efficiency public transport system and a smoother road infrastructure. In the gospel, when John uses the word ‘sign’ it’s important. It’s like those road signs and billboards telling us to ‘pay attention!’ .John uses this word to refer to Jesus’ mighty deeds, and he wants these signs to lead us to deeper faith in Jesus (John 2:11).

Jesus feeds the five thousand, and every detail reveals more about who he is. First, he crosses the sea and takes his disciples up a mountain like a new Moses (John 6:1-3). Then, John tells us that the time of the Passover was near—a feast commemorating God’s covenant with Israel through Moses (6:4). Next, just as Moses asked, “Where can I get meat to give to all this people?” (Numbers 11:13), Jesus asks Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?” (John 6:5). Jesus also echoes the actions of the prophet Elisha, whose story we hear in today’s first reading. Elisha fed one hundred people with some barley loaves (2 Kings 4:42-44). Jesus outdoes Elisha and feeds five thousand people, with twelve baskets of fragments left over (John 6:11-13). Everything about this sign speaks of the abundance of God’s provision for his people. It shows the kind of Messiah Jesus is. Not only does he fulfill all that Moses and the prophets foreshadowed, but he surpasses them. No wonder the people proclaimed him “the one who is to come into the world” (John 6:14)! Jesus wants to help you come to believe in him, know him personally, and experience his abundance. Just as he gave signs to his disciples, he gives you signs to help you grow in faith. They’re all around you, and Jesus loves to help you recognize them. So, ask the Spirit to open your eyes to see the Lord’s power, faithfulness, and love in your life—and rejoice! They may not be neon signs, but they will help you grow to believe in Jesus more and more each day.
