Jesus Walks on the Water

John 6:16-24
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,[b] 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.

22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. 23 Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

A following. A group to lead. Not lead them to some place magnificent in their, but rather a place of magnificence because that is where Jesus is. People were will to cross the sea to get to Jesus and His disciples. It was worth it, and they noticed. It was their eyes that made the observation, but it was their heart that prompted them to move.

We all have those times when we are unsure of where to go next. Which direction to turn, what friend to lean on in times of trouble. In those instances, many times we are weak and indecisive. It is that moment that we worry and concern ourselves about the things of this world and forget to follow Jesus.

When all else is falling apart and withering away, there will always be one constant. And when I say Always, I mean ETERNITY! Forever. It is Jesus. Jesus is the rock, the cornerstone, foundation of our lives, and if we choose to follow Him, that action will save the lives of hundreds even thousands people.

Today, let us choose to seek Him as soon as we get up in the morning. Let us give Him our first fruits. As we actively seek Him through prayer and Reading scripture, we have FAITH that God will answer our prayers and that His will be done in every situation.

Lord we thank you. We love you. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray for all those that do not know you. We pray that they find you so that their lives will be come a living sacrifice for you name.

Amen
