Obviously their spiritual wiring was not up to code. They missed the point. They missed Jesus. Jesus goes on from here to feed the five thousand and walk on water and teach his heart out. But people still missed the point.

I heard a story about a woman who had a new Visa Card and gave it to the clerk to make a purchase. The clerk ran the transaction and gave the woman the credit slip to sign. As the woman signed the slip in front of her, the clerk noticed that the Visa Card hadn t been signed yet by the cardholder. So the clerk insisted that she couldn t finish the sale unless the cardholder signed the card. So the woman signed her card.
