All we have is these puny little loaves of bread and a couple of fish. My word, five thousand people. And Jesus steps into this moment of hunger and restlessness and does something absolutely mind-boggling. He says bring me the five loaves and the two fish. And as he begins to break the bread he opens up to his disciples and to the hungry crowd and to a hungry world a marvelous banquet of plenty.
Hunger is satisfied.
Hearts are changed. Minds are transformed. And in that moment of feeding, the world is no longer the same. Jesus took those pitiful resources and transformed them, exploded them, into a feast. And John says, over and over again, in wonder and amazement, welcome to a feast.
