The feeding of the five thousand is one of the better known miracles in the Bible. It grabs our attention because a crisis is averted. It is dramatic because of the contrast between the few loaves and fishes and the huge amount of leftovers. It is a climatic, dramatic, unexpected big event.
Miracles belong to the upside of life.
They stand in sharp contrast to counsels of despair and negativity. Miracles are the poetry in the prose of life. There is no such thing as a negative miracle. Miracles are associated with hope, creativity, optimism, and the upside of life. Our common definition of a miracle is an event which violates the laws of nature, physical science or logic.
