1. The Savior provided two similar miracles. As a summary of what took place, complete the following chart:
2. In each story, the available food was insufficient to feed the multitude, yet with the help of the Lord the insufficiency was overcome. Read Romans 3:23 and explain in writing another way human effort is insufficient in receiving the glory of God. According to Ether 12:27, how does the Lord help us overcome this insufficiency?
Romans 3:23 - "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God"
Because there is no perfect person and all mankind has sinned, none of us is worthy on his own to enter into heaven and receive the glory of God.
Ether 12:27 - "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
This tells us that although we are weak and sinful and not fit for the kingdom of God, if we humble ourselves and submit ourselves to the will of our Father, and we have faith in Christ, His grace and atoning sacrifice will make up for our faults and imperfections, and we will be able to become strong and pure and Godlike through humility and faith in him.
