Jesus Organizes His Ministry for Efficiency (15:35-36)

What was not humanly possible, Jesus performed as a miracle; the distribution of the food was humanly possible, however, and Jesus organized it efficiently. The fact that the Lord empowers us is all the more reason for us to be good stewards of what he gives and to observe principles like delegated responsibility (Ex 18:14-26). Tremendous revivals followed the ministries of George Whitefield and John Wesley. But because Wesley organized his converts (Noll 1992:92), his results have made a greater direct impact on subsequent generations.
