John 6:3-6 ESV
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Jesus went up the mountain like the Lord came down to the mountain in the desert long ago. The disciples take the place of Moses as they would receive instruction from the Lord.
The crowd came to Jesus. We must always go to Him. We must ask Him in.
This is a teaching moment for them and us. Relying on our own understanding places our hope and aspiration on the weakness of man. During the course of our walk with Him we will face many questions and situations that will test our faith. Jesus has the answers and the strength to guide us into truth.
We must learn obedience and strengthen our faith through our walk with Him. He is always there with us and there something to be learned in every moment.
