Miracle that demonstrated Christ as the BREAD OF LIFE

And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided He among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

Mark 6:41-44


"Let us therefore first think of what Jesus really did. He created food for a vast multitude of people. It is true that He had something to begin with, but He did not draw upon the original store, but increased it instead. 
There was more food left, after all had satisfied their hunger, than there was at first. 
As He took the food in His hands, it multiplied, so that it is as clear as daylight, that it came from Him—directly from His body. 
In this miracle, therefore, we have an illustration of the statement that: Colossians 1:16 ...in Him were all things created. 
Even if He had not afterwards said anything about it, the act alone is sufficient to show that He is the Bread of life."
