Miracles of Jesus Christ: Jesus Walks on the Water

1 h · Episode 12 Dari

Here, the disciples faced a windstorm that prevented them from reaching their destination safely. It was dark, and Jesus wasn’t with them. Can you feel their fear? Let’s put this in perspective. In a windstorm, their boat was facing extreme stress from the high winds and waves. The risk was real because of structural damage or capsizing. Waves can crash over the deck while winds, often exceeding hurricane speeds, threaten to rip the vessel apart. All efforts to move the boat ashore were in vain. This is the water Jesus was walking on. Jesus was walking toward them on the troubled sea. Not knowing it was Him, they thought He was a ghost. They knew and understood that others had perished at sea in such a windstorm. Now they were even more terrified. Jesus is the Son of God. He could have calmed the wind and waves, or let them reach their destination and walked along the shore to meet them on the other side. He walked on the troubled waters in the biting wind. Jesus spoke to them relieving their fears.
