The account of Jesus feeding the 5000 is one of his most well-known miracles as it is one of the only miracles recorded in all four gospels. But why did Jesus feed the 5000? The simple answer is that the people were hungry and out God is one who cares about daily, practical needs of people.

Read More »I like how there is such an emphasis on it being a “boy” (not a man) with five “small” (not big) loaves and two “small” fish followed with the question, “but how far will they go among so many?” It is as if when John is writing this he is really stressing how little chance they had at doing what Jesus wanted in their own strength. I love it! As all the grown men are sitting around trying to solve this problem, it’s a little kid who is starting to understand what Jesus is trying to teach them. When directed to love thy neighbor, the adults are looking to themselves. This child, however, is looking to Jesus. When Jesus takes the boy’s lunch his mommy probably packed for him early that day, I wonder if he was shaking his head at his grown up disciples and saying with his actions, “You should be ashamed of yourselves, letting this little boy have more faith than you all, my mighty twelve. Let me show you what I can do when someone is actually trusting in my power, even if all he has is a little lunch packed by his mother.” By rejecting their offer to feed the 5000 in their own strength and then by taking the offer of a little boy who so foolishly offered up his meager little lunch to Jesus, Jesus is showing everyone that it’s not about how little or much you have, it’s about how much of it you are going to give to him. Jesus is teaching the disciples that him plus a little boy with faith is thousands of times more powerful than the disciples trying to do things on their own. Why Did Jesus Feed the 5000? To Show Jesus Is Always Enough for Every Need The text also emphasizes the amount the child gave to Jesus. Five loaves plus two fish equals seven. On a different occasion when Jesus feeds the 4000 the text makes it clear there were “seven” loaves and a “few small fish” (Matthew 15:34). Both accounts of the two miracles where Jesus multiplies a little food into a lot emphasize the number seven. In the Bible, seven is often the number of completion. So what does this have to do with answering the question, “Why did Jesus feed the 5000?” The message is pretty clear. No matter how little you have, when you give it all to Jesus, it is always completely enough. Jesus is pointing out that when he asks us to do something, he wants us to rely on his power to do it. It didn’t really matter what the disciples had. Jesus could have rained down bread from the sky if he wanted to just like he did for the Israelites with the manna. Remember, he asks them the question of how they are going to feed all these people to test them. Every question God brings into our lives is meant for the same reason. God doesn’t ask us to produce loving actions because he needs them; he asks us to do loving things to see if we will turn to him first to do them.

Read More »When Jesus asked the disciples to feed the 5000 and they said all they had was five loaves and two fish, that wasn’t true. They had Jesus right by their side. He was testing them, hoping they would say, “We can’t feed the 5000! But you can! Here’s all we have. Do with it what you want.”
