When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."
III. The divine way of meeting the difficulty.  A. First, the responsibility for meeting it was fixed: "Give ye them to eat!"   (Matthew 14:16).  "Go ye into all the world" (Mark 16:15).  B. Next, there was an inventory of resources.  The disciples could think of nothing that could be done, but Jesus asked, "How many loaves have ye?"  (Mark 6:38).  God helps only when men have gone as far as they can themselves.  Like the apostles of old, many have found that their resources were greater than they thought.  C. "Bring them hither to me ..."   (Matthew 14:18).  A little with Jesus is always enough, provided only that it is given to him in absolute trust D. Command the multitude to sit down, and go forward with the feast! It is always in doing that strength is increased; it is in giving that the wherewithal to give is multiplied.
