Things can be made into other things, through a process. But there is a limited number of things, and the whole world is made out of how we work with these things. The devil said that's not so. You can turn stones into bread. Jesus said it is so.
Stones are stones and bread is bread.
That is the Scripture's way of saying that the only way you can compel everybody to do something in this world immediately is through military force and compulsion, through greed, or through some other negative force. Jesus said no. His understanding was that the true god guaranteed the value and integrity of human beings. Whatever was needed for humanity, compulsion through force could not accomplish it. People are people.
