There are 3 interactions that happen here that give us insight into more of who Jesus is. How he responds to the crowd, how He speaks to His disciples, and how the disciples interact with the crowd. Jesus welcomes the crowd to experience what it’s like when His kingdom comes. He calls His disciples to stop being bystanders and actually lead. The disciples eventually give to the crowd, what Jesus gives to them and all are satisfied. The hope is that those who are just checking Jesus out will understand that He loves them and wants them to experience His kingdom even though they’re unsure. Those who are followers and aren’t living into that, that they would step up. And that the followers would share with the crowd and everyone else what Jesus has given them.
