Horatius Bonar emphasizes the contrast between man's ways and God's ways in providing for needs, illustrated by the feeding of the five thousand. While the disciples suggested sending the crowd away to buy food, Jesus demonstrated His compassion by insisting they need not depart and providing for them directly. Bonar highlights that God's provision is immediate, free, suitable, abundant, and comes from His own hand, showcasing the grace of Christ as the ultimate provider. This sermon encourages believers to trust in God's ways rather than relying on their own limited understanding and resources.
