The Word Will Be
The Bread of Life
John 6:16-21
The Message
16-21In
the evening his disciples went down to the sea, got in the boat, and
headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and
Jesus had not yet returned. A huge wind blew up, churning the sea. They
were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the
sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless, but he reassured
them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid." So they took him on
board. In no time they reached land—the exact spot they were headed to.
For Reflection
Storms
of our lives frighten us. They sometimes make us doubt the saving
grace of God's promise. Jesus seemed to have abandoned the disciples.
Then, in a display of his power to comfort and save, Jesus walked on the
stormy water, reassured the frightened disciples, and lead them to the
spot on shore which was intended. Christ will do that for all of us. He
will deliver us from our fear.
After the Christ event, truth became knowable.
After the Christ event, truth became knowable.
Pray
for
confidence in Christ to deliver you into his loving presence. Pray for
all those who live in fear. Pray that they will find comfort in the
hollow of God's hand.
