Feeding the Multitudes

Romans 3:23-In the past, I have never related how the multitudes were fed by Jesus and how the atonement were alike until this New Testament lesson.  When the crowd was gathered and the people were hungry the disciples suggested Jesus turn them away to go buy themselves food.  Instead of doing as suggested he blessed the food and was able to feed everyone in attendance.  Like Romans 3:23 describes none of us are perfect on our own.   We have all committed sins and are therefore like the multitude who, left on their own, are in need of assistance from God.  Gratefully, we have scriptures including Ether 12:27 that teach us that if we come unto Christ and do His will and not our own that we will be strengthened by grace.
