Chapter six of John will be the focal point of our study. Imagine hosting a get together, and discover that you don’t have enough food to go around. In our day and age the problem could probably be resolved by making a trip to the grocery store or making a call to a local restaurant. This luxury wasn’t available in the days of Christ, making what we’re about to read even more astounding. Five loaves and two fish. Perhaps enough to feed a couple of people, but certainly not five thousand, right? Nothing is impossible for God!
