When working with children, it's sometimes difficult to help them understand which thing is more valuable from a few options. Jesus faces the same thing. He has just performed a miracle, and yet the crowd tells him he still needs to do more tricks if he wants them to believe in him. They have missed the point. It wasn't that Jesus could do miracles, it was that the miracles point back to the most important thing: him, himself. Missing that is missing everything. Just like a child who gets a bicycle but would rather play with the box it came in, we often miss what God is doing for our preoccupation with what we wish he would do.
