Word of God
But he replied and said, "It is written, 'It is not by bread alone that a man lives, except by every word that issues from the mouth of God

17 And when Jesus knew it, he said unto them, Why reason you thus, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your hearts yet hardened 18 Have ye eyes, and see not? and have ye ears, and hear not? and do ye not remember? 21 Then he said unto them, How is it that ye understand not?

Brethren:

In the preceding verses we about our Savior breaking bread and feed many people. The Pharisees seek after Him in non-belief demanding a sign from heaven to which Jesus replies that they will not receive any sign. Yet herein, we read that His own disciples are likewise confused and lost. He had already given many signs by healings that no man could ever hope to do and other miracles. As such He admonishes them by asking how is it that they still are not entirely convinced.

And so we find similar situations today. Wherein those that are non believers state or ask where is your proof? They, like those some five thousand years ago demand a sign. These are people that see through the eyes of the flesh, and not through the eyes of faith as provided by the Holy Spirit.

However my brethren and friends, they are not to be condemned by us, (for they would already be so by the curse of the Law, and by God Himself). Nay, instead we are to pity and show compassion, and do our utmost to open their eyes and their ears to the things of God, and not the things of the world. - Dr. RVZ
