Christ wright presents thoughts and testimony

Jesus had to deal with the Pharisees who were spiritually blind to the truth and he left them. He had to deal with his disciples who were partial blind to the truth about them. In many ways we are similar to the disciples when it comes to understanding who the Lord is and how He works in our lives.

Are the feeding of the 4000 people the same as feeding the 5000 people? Jesus was teaching his disciples to be prepared to take the Good News into all the world to all people. This meant they would have to get over the long held bias towards Gentiles to understand they would be included in God's plan of salvation.

Jesus wanted to invest in the disciples with private teaching preparing them for their future ministries after he had left them. He wanted them to know and understand that ministry involves all people, including Gentiles. His message was that God cares about you as an individual and wants a personal relationship with you.
