He looked over the large crowd, felt sorry for them, and looked for help. In any crowd that Jesus saw were the sick and the lonely, the mourners and the grieving, the jobless and the poor; and it is the same today, we’re all in that crowd. He had compassion on the crowd. Parents and children, the old and the young. But we’re never a crowd to Jesus; we’re individuals, each with our own personality, our own gifts and talents, our own sufferings and conflicts, each with the hurts we bear in our hearts. He fed the crowds then, as he nourishes us now: strengthening us and healing us with the bread of the Son of God. He taught them with the light of the Spirit, and shared with all the compassion of the Father. He had compassion in the crowd.
