Do you have confidence in Jesus power to provide for the needs and desires of your life? Today s Gospel passage from John begins the famous Bread of Life discourse. Everyone has a place at the table. Not only are all fed, but there is plenty left over which John tells us is enough to fill twelve baskets. The number twelve in Scripture always recalls the twelve tribes of Israel and the twelve Apostles. In short, it refers to all people. However, awareness of the miracle of what Jesus did when he fed them is not immediately apparent to those in the crowds. Understanding this comes slowly and gradually. Jesus must step back and wait for the right time. He withdraws from the crowds, but they are left with the taste and the memory of his presence among them.
