At first glance, the miraculous event of feeding the 4,000 in Matthew 15 might appear as a mere echo of Jesus' earlier feeding of the 5,000. However, what we see in this event is an advancement of the Gospel.

Here, Christ extends His divine compassion beyond the children of Israel, performing an equally astounding miracle for a predominantly Gentile audience.

In Matthew 15:21-28, we see a remarkable interaction between Jesus and a Canaanite woman. Although the Gospel was to be proclaimed first to the house of Israel, Christ's conversation with this woman of great faith and humility further reveals that it was always God's plan to bring even those of Gentile nations into the household of God.

In Matthew 14:22-36, we see Christ miraculously walking on water to the fearful surprise of His disciples as well as Peter's attempt to walk towards Jesus before he begins to sink.


While there are certainly personal applications to be made, we must be cautious when we approach familiar passages such as this so that we do not turn these miraculous displays of the Son of God into an inspirational story focused on ourselves more than on Jesus.

This passage is first and foremost about Christ. The boat, the wind, the disciples, and every other detail is the backdrop of a display of the power and person of the Savior.

The miracle of Jesus feeding the 5,000 is the only miracle to be recorded in each of the four Gospels – which ought to reveal just how important this event is in the ministry of Christ. This miracle reveals Jesus to be the new and better Moses, feeding a multitude of Israelites in the wilderness. However, Jesus’ greatest act of compassion in feeding the 5,000 was not that he took away their hunger, but that this miracle revealed to them that He was the one who had come to take away their sin.
