Different from Matthew’s account
What is it about the loaves that they had not understood?
Is it that they should have understood the power of Jesus? Background of the feeding of the five thousand right before this story.
Danger of overlooking God’s Hand
His work in our lives has become so common, so routine
The people of Israel..
What is it about the loaves that they had not understood?
The key is the second part of the statement.
“because their hearts were hardened.”
What is it about the loaves, the feeding of the five thousand that Jesus wanted his disciples to understand?
I believe it is simply for them to understand who he is..
Matthew’s account
They call Him the Son of God - but they did not understand what that really meant.
That He is Savior and Messiah.
Son of God was just a title.
People do not fully understand who Jesus is
The religion in people’s hearts
Hearts hardened by their pride
Hearts hardened by their own view of the world (miracles are not supposed to happen) (surprised when God answers)
Hearts hardened by their own expectations (God’s ways are higher than ours).
Notice a fascinating part of this story from Mark:
Jesus “would have passed them by”
I got this!
