The Good Shepherd Feeds the Sheep
Although in need of rest and recuperation Jesus looks on the crowds that follow His every move not with frustration, but with compassion. He sees that the sheep need a shepherd. His compassion moves Him to speak the truth that their hearts so desperately need and to provide a miraculous meal to meet to their physical need. For those who have eyes to see, He is the Good Shepherd who fulfills what God Himself promised by doing what only God could do.
