Now, let us go through scriptural contextualization that led to this phenomenon. In the fourteenth chapter of Matthew Jesus Christ miraculously fed about eighteen thousand people with five loaves of bread and two fishes. There are two reasons for using bread. First is the fact that He will give His sinless Body as a propitiation for our sinfulness, in order to elevate the fallen Adamic nature. The other reason is that bread is a product of the land. As the high and lofty LORD God of the Old Testament, His Divine ownership of the vastness of the atmospheric height is never in question. Prove to the world, He must, of His Lordship of the land and the sea. The land that produces bread must yield to His command; and as He gave the loaf, wheat, from every source, kneaded itself into baked bread – and this is not magic – until “And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full” (Matthew 14:20). It must be five loaves because salvation is by the grace of God. You have to eat Him, the Bread from heaven, to live successfully and be spiritually alive, ergo, when He was born, it was a necessity for Mary, His vehicular entity of the Incarnation, to place the Ancient of days, Who became the Infant of days in a manger – holding Jesus out for spiritual consumption for anyone who wishes to. It was the same grace that accounted for the possibility of granting Moses’ request: “Shew me Thy glory” of Exodus 33:18. And if one should ask, “Where is the grace that granted the request?” in Exodus 33:22, “And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:” hides the grace in the ‘hand’ of Divinity. The ‘hand’ which in Hebrew is kaph (kaf) with the definition: ‘palm of the hand, hollow or flat of the hand, figuratively, power;' is not without the jut of a thumb and four fingers which addition comes to five: the amazing grace that settles terms and conditions of the soteriology.Read More
