When the crowd gathers in the remote place Jesus' first act of compassion, naturally, is to heal those who are sick. After they have been there a while, the next act of compassion is much more practical, he feeds them. But note how he does it, he tells the disciples to do it. They balk at the overwhelming task even though they have been witness to numerous miracles by this point. Even if the “miracle” was the crowd moving beyond selfishness to sharing in abundance, the point is that the touch of the savior is transferable to the followers to multiply the power of compassion.
What miracle will you be responsible for today?
