Faith Tested for Sustenance

John 6:2-6   
2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

Many came to Jesus for a miracle, not wanting to suffer any more.  But Jesus was concerned for their sustenance, and asked the disciples where to get food - yet Jesus knew already He would provide it without cost.  So He began to test their faith and show them again where all comes from, the hand of God Himself.  This is where we also receive all we need for both life and godliness.
