The way of the disciples was a life of engagement. The calling to follow Jesus was not a commitment to passively tag along and silently observe, but to become by doing. After another long day of teaching and miracles, the disciples were done and needed Jesus to send the massive crowd of people home because everyone was tired and hungry. When the disciples explained the situation to Jesus, thinking that he would agree to their assessment and solution, He turned and instructed them to deal with the problem.
Like the disciples, many of us are pundits who can read the situation, cite the problem and pontificate on what should be done from the safety of the sidelines. But I believe Jesus is calling us to GET IN THE GAME and deal with the problem.
