Description

Surely you know the story of Jesus feeding over 5000 people. John tells the story and introduces it with Jesus asking Philip where they buy so much bread from so that everyone eats. And then John writes that Jesus was testing Philip with this question because Jesus knew what he wanted to do. Sounds a bit mean. Jesus - so it seems to me - leads Philip on a wrong track with his question: the focus where to take the money from and then where to buy so much bread with the money - so a purely natural solution to the problem. But Jesus solves the problem in a completely different way: a little available bread he multiplies supernaturally. I draw two conclusions from this: First, when you face a problem, check if you are asking the right questions to solve it and second, count on God's supernatural possibilities.

I wish you an extraordinary day!
