Somethings just pass up by whether reading, watching, driving, or simply existing. As I was reading the Bible this morning I noticed something. A simple statement that so often we glaze over. How many miracles did Jesus REALLY DO? Yet, the disciples didn't get, we don't get, but Jesus did.
Where am I rambling? In the scriptures, John 6 Jesus fed 5,000 men with what? Two fish and 5 barley loaves of bread. We all know this story. Then, right after that the disciples leave in a boat for the other side when a storm arises, Jesus walks on water, comes to the disciples and the raging water calms.
But, read the scripture with me and note what I posted in blue.
John 6: 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
Note, another miracle. It does not say the continued rowing and reached the other shore. The Bible says IMMEDIATELY the boat reached the shore. Do you think the disciples thought about this? Have you thought about this?
Think about this for a moment. You are in the middle of the lake, Jesus climbs into your boat and BAM - you are at shore. Wowsers!! This struck me and let me know how it strikes you. JESUS IS THE MAN!!! Thank you for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
