Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Jesus shows a great amount of compassion here. He has been with these people for a while now, but he cannot send them away because he does not want them to 'faint along the way.' Like with his other miracles, this miracles serves a purpose. In other words, Jesus is not showing off here. He is giving these people something they need: food, so they have strength to carry on and return to their homes. Jesus does the same for us. He may not magically multiply food for us, but he does see to it that we have the strength to carry on in our journey of faith. Just like he does with the Four Thousand, Jesus feeds us with what we need that we might have strength. God bless you.
