In Matthew 14, we are going to hear about how Jesus fed the 5,000. But in Matthew 14, we will not hear about the meaning of that event. In Deuteronomy 8, Moses reflects on the meaning of the manna. Why did God give Israel bread from heaven? “that he might make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.â€
That’s the same verse that Jesus quotes to Satan during his temptation in the wilderness.
God fed you with manna in the wilderness in order to test you – Would you listen to the voice of the LORD? “as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.â€
The LORD tests his son to know what is in his heart. That’s why Jesus had to endure the temptation in the wilderness. Will Jesus succeed where Israel failed?
