"Jesus soon saw a huge crowd of people coming to look for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, “Where can we buy bread to feed all these people?” He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.
Philip replied, “Even if we worked for months, we wouldn’t have enough money to feed them!”"
~ John 6.5-7 NLT
I may not realise it at the time, but has Jesus ever "tested" me like he tested Philip? Yes, he has.
The point is not Jesus' rhetorical question, but the objective. I thought the objective was impossible for me. But I did it anyway.
When I listen to Jesus and follow through, the Spirit helps me carry out his will. The Spirit makes the impossible possible.
