Christianity: Jesus Tests Disciples' Faith

In Luke 9:1 Jesus gives the disciples power, they use it, and come back to report all their deeds (Luke 9:10). Yet they immediately forget God's power. They tell Jesus that there is no food for the people.

Jesus says "you feed them" (Luke 9:13). He wasn't intending on performing the miracle! He wasn't feeding the people for their sake (no one was going to starve from missing a meal), he was showing the disciples how they should be thinking about situations. Think about what God is capable of, not the impossibilities of the situation.
