This account shows Jesus at a high point in his popularity.  His ministry reaches beyond Israel to Gentile areas, revealing further evidence of the new exodus ushered in by Jesus.  The multitudes hungry for His message of hope bear down on Him in crowds that nearly crush Him.  Is our hope in Christ as theirs?  Do we pursue Him and His words with their fervor?  Are we as eager to tell what He has done for us as they were?
