A popular story from the Gospels is the one that all four Gospel writers cover - the feeding of the 5,000+ with little more than a young boy's lunch of fish and bread. Yet, in the midst of this story, there's a message that is often missed. It centers on the compassion of Christ for the crowds and the development of disciples to show the very same compassion. That's our message for today. The crowds still exist, but are we sitting around waiting for someone else to "feed them?"
