What condescension it was on the part of Christ, through His messenger, to work this miracle to satisfy hunger! Again and again since that time, though not always in so marked and perceptible a manner, has the Lord Jesus worked to supply human need. If we had clearer spiritual discernment we would recognize more readily than we do God's compassionate dealing with the children of men.

Tænk, at Kristus ville nedlade sig til at gøre dette mirakel gennem sin tjener for at stille menneskers sult! Men siden den tid har Herren Jesus gang på gang grebet ind for at afhjælpe menneskers behov, skønt det ikke altid er sket på en så iøjnefaldende måde. Hvis vi havde et større åndeligt klarsyn, ville vi bedre kunne se den ømme måde, som Gud behandler menneskenes børn på.
