The Feeding of the Four Thousand

The Feeding of the Four Thousand
Matthew 15.29-39

I went to the cinema the other day with my two nephews and niece. It wasn’t an ordinary cinema. It was a three-dimensional production. Instead of looking at an ordinary movie, it seemed as though everything was coming out of the screen straight at you. Everybody shrieked as balls were thrown, water splashed, cars rushed out of the screen straight towards us. Cinemas like that were popular in the early days of movies, and they seem to be making a come-back, at least as a novelty for children.

Of course, for the three-dimensional trick to work you have to put on a special pair of spectacles, which the movie theatre supplies at the door. If you don’t wear them, everything looks a bit blurred and you can’t see the point. Once you’re wearing them, you’re part of the action and you can understand what’s happening...
