Episode 15 Philip's Calculations and Andrew's Faith
Jesus said to Philip, "There are so many people coming here now. Where should we buy bread for these people could eat?" Everyone, where could you buy bread? They are in the vast wilderness. Even if they were in a large city, it still would be hard to buy bread for 5,000 people. But what Philip says is, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little."
But then, a disciple named Andrew comes to Jesus. He said, "Sir, there is a lad here who brought five barley loaves and two fish. But what is that amongst so many." Philip would have probably thought, "Oh my. Jesus, why did you make Andrew a disciple? How can five barley loaves feed 5,000?"

Even though they were both disciples of Jesus, Philip's calculation was accurate in the humanistic sense. But Andrew's plan was faith. Philip and Andrew both followed Jesus. However, during that time, Philip simply thought, "Jesus is amazing" while he followed Him. But Andrew saw Jesus doing the works of God. He saw Jesus changing water into wine. He saw the man with an infirmity for 38 years rise and walk. Andrew felt, "That man is the son of God. There is nothing that he cannot do."
On the other hand, Philip simply thought, "Yeah, He is a good teacher. He is a great man. Yes, he does great works. He just saw him as a great human being. But Andrew was different. "If he is God, then he can take care of all of our problems. Five barley loaves and two fish. Yes, it is insignificant but if Jesus works, He can do it. During this time, Andrew saw how Jesus worked and said, "Wow, He is God! If he works we could feed the 5000 with the 5 barley loaves. He is the one who created heaven and the earth. He had the faith to believe him. But although Phillip saw the works of Jesus, he remained in his own humanly calculations.
