The Multiplication of Bread
I like to call it the multiplication of bread, but as you may already know, fish was also included in the miracle in question. In Matthew 14, we are told about this extraordinary event where Jesus fed thousands. But first, let’s see what happened moments before it took place.
Favor of God in the Wilderness…
In the Old Testament, after Moses led the people of Israel out of Egypt, they dwelled in the wilderness for forty (40) years. The Lord provided food for them, covered them with a pillar of cloud during the day, and gave them light and warmth with a pillar of fire at night. You probably knew all this, but did you know that the Lord caused their clothes to remain intact and not wear out since they left Egypt? Not only their clothes but their shoes -aka sandals- stayed in good shape for the 40 years of wandering and traveling in the desert.
