In this familiar story we are confronted with the compassion of Jesus who ministered to a large crowd despite trying to retreat for rest. Jesus shows us that though He is the ultimate provider for His people, He often uses us to minister to one another. Finally, we see that this story is so much more about physical bread, but it points to Jesus as the True Bread of Life who takes what little we have and multiplies it in spiritual blessings that overflow into eternity.
