“For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.”
Mark 6:52 KJV
The disciples’ doubting hearts had not grasped his authority and power over all things in spite of just having witnessed the miraculous feeding. They didn’t understand the miracle that was meant to teach them - that God has the power to deliver them, no matter what the limitation. Just a short while back, in the miracle, the bread multiplied in their hands, so they likewise had the power to rebuke the stormy wind and sail through the other side, even if Jesus was to pass them. He wanted them to see things in a new light and know the authority that they now carried. The lessons learned from the multiplied loaves were: that Jesus had all the power to meet every need; that the disciples carried this power with them, for the bread multiplied in their hands. They were also part of the miracle. The same God had parted the Red Sea when the children of Israel crossed it and later the manna, the bread, that fell from heaven, was multiplied to them! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. Let’s believe, as Christ’s disciples, the power and authority given to the Church to accomplish God’s will on the earth. Amen!
