I think I hear your reasoning in your hearts and whispering, “Who are we that we could feed this multitude? Look at their host.  Who can even count them?  As the stars of heaven, so are the seed of Adam.  These hungry souls are almost as numerous as the sands of the seashore.  How would we ever feed them all?  Even so, remember, this is your mission.  It never fares well to adopt a weakness of faiththat was illustrated by Phillips questioning.  If ever the world is to be fed, it is with Christ through his Church.  Until the kingdoms of the world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, we are the warriors who must carry the victorious arms of the cross to the uttermost parts of the earth.  We are the providers of God’s free bounty until the fullness of the Gentiles is gathered in.  God commands all men everywhere to repent and we are to declare His mandate.  You are aware how Jesus worked the work of His Father; you know how He went about doing good; but do you know how He said,”Greater works than these shall he that believeth do because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12).  Let the words sink down into your heart.  Let the vision rise perpetually before your eyes.  See your work.  Great as it is, and discouraged as you may be by the great multitude who desire your help, recognize the appeal to your faith.  Let the magnitude of the mission drive you the more sincerely to the work instead of deterring you from it.” Charles Spurgeon
