This story teaches us about God's caring provision for His people.The disciples were right to be concerned about the people's hunger but intended to solve the problem in a purely natural way. It would have been nearly impossible for roughly five thousand people to fend for themselves in the countryside. Few towns were nearby and towns were generally small. Further, most of the day's bread would be consumed by evening.Jesus gives thanks for the five loaves and two fish ‰ۥ confident that He represents God's will. The leftovers stress the lavish abundance of God's miraculous power in Christ; many people in biblical times felt that a good host should provide enough food that some would always be left over.The disciples saw the size of the need and the littleness of the human resources available; Jesus saw the size of the need and the greatness of God's resources available. Often God calls us to do tasks for him that are technically impossible ‰ۥ barring a miracle.Find out in this 30-minute, animated Bible video from NEST that retells the story of the feeding of the 5,000. Using original songs, Bread From Heavenbrings to life one of the most compelling Bible stories.
