Jesus showed compassion to everyone he met who had a need; He looked to see what their suffering or need was and did what he can to bring relief to them and to make their lives better. My story this week is a re-telling of the feeding of the 5000; the poeple who had folled Jesus to be taught by him but had left it late in the day to try and get food. Jesus showed compassion on them and fed them - this story is told from the perspective of a boy who might have been the one to share his fish and bread with Jesus. I hope you enjoy it!
