We often read these stories with our focus on Jesus, but how often do we pay attention to the disciples\u2019 perspective? Throughout the Gospel narratives, the people who followed Jesus are \u2018representative characters.\u2019 In so many ways, they stand in for us as we try to understand and be formed by the ministry and presence of Jesus. In this series, we will contemplate six stories from the Gospels through the eyes of the disciples. How did they understand the teaching and ministry of Jesus? How did they respond, and how are we invited to consider our response to these stories from the life of our teacher? We will learn from these stories, and we will use our imaginations to enter into them. The spiritual practice of imaginative prayer gives us an opportunity to meet with Jesus as we respond to his presence and ministry. This week, Kirsten Hitchcock invites us to consider the account of Jesus's feeding of the 5000 with fresh eyes.
