Why did Jesus challenge the disciples to "give them (5000 people) something to eat" before multiplying the food?

It is a good question. I never thought about it before. I suppose that jesus was revealing His divine nature. . Jesus first nourished them with spiritual food. Then, He gave them the physical, because He knew they were hungry and tired. The disciples in their human nature wanted to dispose them off; But Jesus with divine compassion and mercy supplied them with bread and fish to satisfy their physical need. Jesus wants us to be sensitive to the needs of people.

Faith allowed power to flow from Jesus even without his initiative. What is faith?

faith, religious belief -- (a strong belief in a supernatural power or powers that control human destiny; 2. faith, trust -- (complete confidence in a person or plan etc; "he cherished the faith of a good woman"; "the doctor-patient relationship is based on trust")
3 faith -- (institution to express belief in a divine power; "he was raised in the Baptist religion"; "a member of his own faith contradicted him")
4. faith -- (loyalty or allegiance to a cause or a person; "keep the faith"; "they broke faith with their investors")

Term: Faith
Description: Faith is in general the persuasion of the mind that a certain statement is true (Phil. 1:27; 2 Thess. 2:13). Its primary idea is trust. A thing is true, and therefore worthy of trust. It admits of many degrees up to full assurance of faith, in accordance with the evidence on which it rests.

Faith is the result of teaching (Rom. 10:14 17). Knowledge is an essential element in all faith, and is sometimes spoken of as an equivalent to faith (John 10:38; 1 John 2:3). Yet the two are distinguished in this respect, that faith includes in it assent, which is an act of the will in addition to the act of the understanding. Assent to the truth is of the essence of faith, and the ultimate ground on which our assent to any revealed truth rests is the veracity of God.

Historical faith is the apprehension of and assent to certain statements which are regarded as mere facts of history.

Temporary faith is that state of mind which is awakened in men (e.g., Felix) by the exhibition of the truth and by the influence of religious sympathy, or by what is sometimes styled the common operation of the Holy Spirit.

Saving faith is so called because it has eternal

Saving faith is so called because it has eternal life inseparably connected with it. It cannot be better defined than in the words of the Assembly`s Shorter Catechism: "Faith in Jesus Christ is a saving grace, whereby we receive and rest upon him alone for salvation, as he is offered to us in the gospel."

The object of saving faith is the whole revealed Word of God. Faith accepts and believes it as the very truth most sure. But the special act of faith which unites to Christ has as its object the person and the work of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 7:38; Acts 16:31). This is the specific act of faith by which a sinner is justified before God (Rom. 3:22, 25; Gal. 2:16; Phil. 3:9; John 3:16 36; Acts 10:43; 16:31). In this act of faith the believer appropriates and rests on Christ alone as Mediator in all his offices.

This assent to or belief in the truth received upon the divine testimony ....
