He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
Jesus turned to them and said, 'You feed them.' The disciples were like, 'Are you serious? Should we go drop like 200 days' wages on bread just to feed this whole crowd?'
Sometimes God asks us to do things that seem impossible with what we have.
