What Jesus Did With A Willing Heart - A Reflection of John 6:1-15

Hey Guys,

Yesterday’s message from John 6:1–15, “What Jesus Can Do with a Willing Heart,” was a powerful reminder that God isn’t looking for greatness—He’s looking for surrender. As we studied the feeding of the five thousand, we saw the miracle unfold not just through the power of Jesus, but through the simple offering of a young boy who was willing to place what little he had in the hands of the Master.

From Little to Limitless
The boy’s five loaves and two fish weren’t enough to feed a crowd. But Jesus took what was offered, gave thanks, and multiplied it beyond imagination. What a beautiful truth: our God can take what seems insufficient in our eyes and make it abundant. He doesn’t need what we don’t have—He uses what we are willing to give.

Whether it's our time, our talents, our treasure, or our testimony, when we release it to Christ, He multiplies the impact. One brother shared after service, “I always thought I had too little to be used by God—but today I realized my willingness matters more than my ability.”

The Gospel Still Multiplies
Even more powerful was seeing five people come forward, to join our church by profession of faith/statement of faith. The same Jesus who multiplied the loaves is still multiplying salvation today. The gospel is alive and active. John 20:31 reminds us: “These have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that by believing you may have life in His name.” That life was received by faith yesterday, and we rejoice with heaven over every soul saved.

Your Next Step
If this sermon moved you, don’t leave the lesson at the altar. Ask yourself:

• What have I been holding back from the Lord?
• Am I trusting Him with the little I have?
• Is my heart truly willing to be used by Him?

Let your response be more than an emotional moment—let it be the beginning of surrender.

Jesus doesn’t ask for perfection—He asks for permission to work through you. Will you say yes?

Share this post to encourage someone who may feel “too small” to be used by God. Jesus is waiting on a willing heart.

Serving Him,
