Significance of the feeding of the five thousand by Jesus.
Answer Text: - The miracle showed that Jesus had power over nature (He had divine power)- The miracle shows that Jesus was not only concerned with the spiritual needs but also the physical needs. Christians should also be concerned with physical needs of the people such as food. - The fact that Jesus prayed and gave thanks to God shows the need for thanks giving by Christians.- The feeding of the 5,000 people was a fore-shadow of the last supper that Jesus was going to have with his disciples.- Jesus shared the food among his people. This shows that Christians need to share what they have with others. - Jesus delegated the work of distributing food by his disciples. Leaders also need to delegate duties to others.- Jesus asked the disciples to put the people to sit in groups. This meant that God’s work is orderly. Christians therefore, need to be orderly in their work. - The remains were collected and filled in 12 baskets. This shows that Christians should not be wasteful and need to keep the environment clean. - The 12 baskets of the remains symbolized 12 tribes of Israel.
