Matthew 14, verses 14 to 21
Matthew 14 is a story of Jesus using a miracle to show God’s unconditional compassion and abundance.
And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
He said, Bring them hither to me.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Mary Baker Eddy said, “The progress of truth confirms its claims, and our Master confirmed his words by his works.”
Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
This Biblical healing story invites us to examine our own lives: Where can we have faith and a clearer understanding of God and our spiritual identity? As we follow Jesus’ example and turn to divine Truth, we too can experience freedom, healing, and renewal. This result is proven many times through all of the healings shared through Christian Science testimonies at Wednesday meetings, in periodicals and at Christian Science lectures.
