In the first part of John 6, Jesus feeds 5,000 men (plus women and
children) and then walks on the water, calling Peter to do the same. The
first miracle caused those who witnessed it to proclaim that Jesus was the
Prophet foretold in Deuteronomy 18; the second caused Jesus' apostles to
proclaim Jesus as the Son of God. These stories are filled with important
lessons for us, including what we are to do today with such miracles,
foreshadowing of these miracles in the Old Testament, how Jesus handled
adversity, and teaching on (and a vivid example of) saving faith.
