Jesus found himself surrounded by a crowd of people. He looked out into the crowd and realized it was characterized by a soul hunger. In a country and people chosen by God to be his dwelling place, given the Word, the covenants and continuous demonstrations of his reality, there was a failure of leadership to equip people in knowing God, in character development and in real ministry. The Sadducees were more concerned with the political situation, and their place in it. The Pharisees were more concerned with maintaining their spiritual “superiority.” No one was concerned about the common man. Spiritual abundance was for t he elites.
Except Jesus knew God’s heart for people. He invited all to become part of his family, to participate in his life, and to experience the adventure. So, his heart went out to them. And he focused on building into their lives, revealing God’s heart to them, and showing them how to share that life God intended them to live.
