Answers

Eric
The miracle showed that Jesus had power over nature (He had divine power)
- The miracle shows that Jesus was not only concerned with the spiritual needs but also the
spiritual needs, but also the physical needs. Christian s should also bed concerned with
physical needs of the people such as food.
- The fact that Jesus prayed and gave thanks to God shows the need for thanks giving by
Christians.
- The feeding of the 5,000 people was a fore-shadow of the last supper that Jesus was going to
have with his disciples.
- Jesus shared the food among his disciples. This shows that Christians need to share what
they have with others.
- Jesus delegated the work of distributing food t o his disciples. Leaders also need to delegate
duties to others.
- Jesus asked the disciples to put the people to sit in groups. This meant that God’s work is
orderly. Christians therefore, need to be orderly in their work.
- The remains were collected and filled in 12 baskets. This shows that Christians should not be
wasteful and need to keep the environment clean.
- The 12 baskets of the remains symbolize 12 tribes of Israel.
