Text: Matthew 14:19
Synopsis: Throughout the Bible we see a pattern of blessing, breaking, and giving. Joseph was blessed, then broken as a slave and in prison, then given back to the world as a blessing. Moses was blessed in Pharaoh’s house, then broken as an exile, then given back to Israel as their deliverer. God often allows us to be broken so that we can be given back as an even greater blessing to our world. Job was blessed, then broken, then given back to the world as an example of perseverance and faith. The supreme example is Jesus, who was blessed, then broken, then given back to the world as a Savior.
