Feeding of the 4000

Jesus feeds 4000 with seven loaves. But he desires that his disciples see the greater truth, about the greater kingdom, of heaven. So the 3 day fast betokens the greater fast when Jesus dies and not until the third day does he return, risen from the dead. So also the 4000 betoken the church at the four corners of the earth. And the 7 loaves with 7 remaining baskets betoken the need for a greater week, and and eighth loaf, which is Christ himself. So let us be as the multitude following him into the wilderness of life, looking for the life of the world to come in him, our true daily Bread, our eighth loaf. Sermon for Trinity VII.
