We are getting back into the Gospel of John after a break for focusing on Peter’s comments on the cross.

Here’s something I found interesting from the passage of Jesus walking on water (John 6:16-21 - Knowing His Care) that did not make it into the sermon:

Jesus walking on the water seems like a strange miracle. Most of His miracles had a benefit for someone (healing the lame, blind, sick, etc) - but this one doesn’t fit that mold.

BUT - was it prophesied in the OT? Read Psalm 107:23-30, pay attention to the verses I underlined, and consider for yourself:

23 Some went down to the sea in ships,

doing business on the great waters;

24 they saw the deeds of the LORD,

his wondrous works in the deep.

25 For he commanded and raised the stormy wind,

which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26 They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage melted away in their evil plight;

27 they reeled and staggered like drunken men

and were at their wits' end.

28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

29 He made the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30 Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

and he brought them to their desired haven.

—> Was this Psalm about Jesus walking on water, as in John 6? Some of the language seems awfully familiar! Cool stuff.

See you (online) Sunday. You are loved!
