Feeding the Hungryનમૂનો

The writer interrupts his narration of ‘feeding the five thousand’ to tell us that it was nearly time for the Passover feast. This feast reminded people of the day in which God delivered the helpless Israelites from slavery and from the hands of their powerful enemies. It marked the beginning of their journey through the wilderness to the promised land, guided by the hand of God.

The Passover was a shadow of what Christ would accomplish for enslaved mankind on the cross. Once we were slaves to sin, enslaved to the passions of our flesh and blinded by the Evil One. But Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again to set us free and give us new life. He is the Bread of Life, who satisfies your deep spiritual hunger. You are complete in Him. For He has the words of eternal life that bring meaning, healing, and lasting hope.
