Jesus is saying, yeah, it sounds pretty overwhelming to try and feed thousands of people. So why don't you neighbor up? Why don't you organize yourselves? Take stock. See the faces. These are not thousands of anonymous hungry people. These are people whose faces you can look into. And once you have sat down, things will be different. So Jesus puts them into these groups. So sit them down. Make everybody sit down. In these groups, there is more opportunity for trust. Because the underlying challenge of God's economy is that it only works if most of us do it. And what is it that we're called to do? We are called to open handedly surrender what we have, to offer up what we brought along with us, whether that's nothing or quite a lot.
