A few weeks ago, I talked about Jesus feeding 5,000. In today’s reading, it is about 4,000. What would be the true importance of telling stories about Jesus's capability for feeding such a large crowd? Throughout the Bible, there is definitely something important about God feeding us and us being fed by God. Jesus seems to especially emphasize our being fed by God and/or eating with God. How can we deny the truth that the act of being fed is one of the most essential acts of our life on earth! Thus, the act of eating spiritual food might be the most essential act for our spirits!
