The feeding of the 5000 is one of the few stories in the gospels that is found in all four books. The primary lesson is of course that Christ is the bread of life that feeds mens souls, that he is the creator of everything that is in this world and all things continue and are kept by the power of God. But there are several important lessons here for us that precede this miracle. These are not a formula, but a compilation of truths that will guide us as we navigate seasons of lack and insufficiency.
