The Apostles were teaching a crowd of followers well into the evening, such that they hadn’t eaten all day. When they finally thought of food, it was evening and there were only five loaves of bread and two fish available to feed 5000 people. Jesus says to them, well go ahead and feed them. The Apostles, understandably, are fixated on what they don’t have and what they can’t do. ‘We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish,’ can’t you see Jesus, what do you want from us? ‘Bring them here to me,‘ says Jesus. Bring them here to me. The beginning of faith for the apostles is bringing to God what they do have. Forgetting our fixation on what we don’t. That’s how it also begins for us. ‘Bring them here to me.” Bring yourself to God at the altar to Christ in this little piece of bread and little bit of wine.
