Jesus is... the miracle worker

Graham Romp | Mark 6:45-56 

Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and [Jesus] was alone on land. He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, ‘Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.’ Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down.

Jesus himself had sent the disciples across the lake, but as the wind and waves grew, so did their fears. As Graham explains, they did not realise that Jesus was watching them and would come to their rescue. His actions reveal who he is and something of what God is like.

The recording begins with the reading from John Davies.
