12 So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” 13 Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
Feeding 5,000 with 5 loaves of bread made everyone there believe Jesus was the prophet spoken of who would come. But Jesus was the manna from heaven sent to feed us from Himself, to partake of Him in a new life with God as Spirit living in us. The miracle was not in feeding so many, but feeding so many from Himself. There is always enough left over for more.
