While over 1000 words of the New Testament are dedicated to the Feeding of the 5000, the word "discipleship" is not among them. Yet, this miracle is a clinic on what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Like a miner being satisfied with discovering a shiny pebble and missing the deposit of gold directly under their feet, we cheat ourselves of the treasures found within this story by narrowing our understanding of this miracle to just loaves and fish.
