Jesus Thanked God

                          Be thankful to Him, and bless His name - Psalm 100:4.

Before the miracle of Lazarus

Jesus thanked God before the miracle of Lazarus. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.” Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth!” And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Loose him, and let him go.” - John 11:41-44.

Before feeding 5000 people

Jesus thanked God before feeding 5,000 people. Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost." Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten - John 6:10-13. 

Before the last supper

Jesus thanked God before the last supper. Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:27, 28.                                                                                

Prayer: Dear Lord, Let us be thankful to You and bless Your name at all times. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
