In Matthew 14 we saw Jesus feed 5,000 men, not including women and children, with only five loaves and two fish. And in Matthew 15 we see Jesus feed 4,000 men, not including women in children, with 7 loaves and a few fish. The second feeding is still miraculous, but less miraculous than the first. Why does Matthew put these two miracles so close together in his Gospel? What is the significance of this 2nd miraculous feeding? Listen as Pastor Matt shows that the key to understanding this section is realizing who is being served. These believing Gentiles are not dogs receiving scraps, but children eating at their Father’s table.
