Matthew 14:15-19
Later that afternoon, the disciples came to Jesus and said, “It’s going to be dark soon, and the people are hungry, but there is nothing to eat here in this desolate place. You should send the crowds away to the nearby villages to buy themselves some food.”
“They don’t need to leave,” Jesus responded. “You can give them something to eat.”
They answered, “But all we have are five barley loaves and two fish, and we have them here.”
Jesus replied. Then He had everyone sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, gave thanks to God, and broke the bread into pieces. Then He turned and gave it to His disciples, who in turn gave it to the crowds.
I think this story is as much about the miracle of feeding the people as it is about the disciples beginning to learn firsthand who they were in Christ. This is very profound and gives all of us something to think about as believers.
The disciples saw only their lack, but Jesus saw His sufficiency. He invited them to participate in the miracle, not because they had enough on their own, but because He was enough. What seemed impossible in their hands became more than enough when placed in His hands.
The question remains for each of us:
Who are you in Christ?
