From Tim Chester’s A Meal With Jesus
We need a theology of leftovers. The Old Testament people of Israel were told to gather just enough manna for one day (Exodus 16) When they tried to gather two day’s worth, it always went bad. If you acted as if manna was a finite resource that must be hoarded, then it went bad. You could only consume it by trusting it to be an infinite resource from God. The disciples thought their five loaves [Luke 9] were a finite resource that couldn’t be shared. Five thousand people later they still had twelve baskets of bread.
