When we think of Jesus feeding the 5,000, it’s easy for us to flatten that crowd in our imagination into a single unit, one hungry horde that was fed by a divine division of loaves. But to Jesus, each person in the crowd (likely more than 5,000) was distinct, lovingly imagined by him before the creation of the world and crafted with care. He saw each person that day, and cared for each one through the breaking of bread. The twelve bars of gold represent the twelve disciples, through whose hands Jesus enacted this miracle.
