SEVEN SIGNS: Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

Jesus’ miraculous feeding of the five thousand dramatically portrays Him as our powerful, compassionate, creative God and Savior. Jesus drew great crowds because of His miracles. He cared about the physical needs of a hungry crowd, as well as their spiritual needs. Jesus produced abundant bread and fish out of a boy’s lunch. He also taught His disciples the power of faith. The only miracle apart from Jesus’ resurrection that’s recorded in all four Gospels, this miracle reminds us that only Jesus can fully satisfy our greatest needs.
