Today, our podcast focusses on one of the multiplication of loaves miracles. Luke begins describing the story with Jesus healing those who needed to be cured. It appears it’s the end of the day, so the disciples want to send the people into the villages to get something to eat and possibly seek lodging.
Rather than sending the people away Jesus suggests that the disciples feed them. This is a beautiful example of when the divine meets our earthly understanding.
Everything for Jesus is a teachable moment. The disciples answer him literally, just five loaves and two fish, certainly not enough to feed 5,000 people. They offer another solution of buying the food, but they realize they do not have the resources for this. The lesson is clear; often a human solution is not enough, and we need the intervention of the Spirit.
