Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat
Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat
Jesus asked his disciples this question, because his heart was moved with pity upon the crowd of people. They had been listening to his teaching all day; he could not simply send them away and expect them to find food in the surrounding villages. He knew they were hungry and thirsty, and he shared in theyr hunger and their thirst. He felt the exhaustion that had come upon them as they followed him up the mountains; he was also tired.
Philip and the rest of the apostles did not know how to answer Jesus. They were overwhelmed by the situation. Here they were out in the open, far from the town. And the crowd was the big one numbering five thousand without counting the women and the children. No one could possibly provide enough food for such large group of people.
In this situation another miracle Jesus has done he feed all of the thousands people. In that sense we need to feed the hunger as Jesus did. If we have too much food then let be shared to others specially those less fortunate one.
