Provocative parable

I sense that the multitude that Christ fed with the five loaves and the two fish that he caught with his fishermen friends was to his cells. Of course the degree of patience that Jesus exemplified would have very well been honed by pinching every scrap that fell on the picnic table before the hawks and seagulls showed up. Afterall, he had not listened to the weather report to know if the fish would bite next day or the wheat would be ripe in time for baking the next meal. And Jesus told me that this is why he sent one of his disciples to get a coin from a fish to pay the taxes while he was at the wedding of Cana

The Godman knew how to fend for himself because even the Godman’s mind knew what it is like when the brain is famished and he had not yet been tempted by the ghastly ghost in his growling gut. And when he remembers what he was told happened to his ancestors on the way to the Promised Land, Lord Jesus was not about starve! Besides, those long talks to pass this on as the story of his forefathers was agonizing enough already and he needed to find a way out. That could very well be what prompted him to decide to give it up and become a legendary carpenter and parable prodigy who prompted people to promote the power of productivity that according to one’s faith so it is done
