Jesus walks on the lake

Mark 6:45-56

Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.

Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he 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. They were completely amazed, for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

And wherever he went—into villages, towns or countryside—they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

Why?

Jesus still keeps a little for himself to pray, So praying to every Christian and keeping myself calm down is an important things.
Jesus many walks on the lake, it makes his disciples afraid for they thought how can a man can walk on water. But Jesus is the son of the Lord, they didn't know Jesus. Even though Jesus has let over five thousand men eat. And their heart was hardened, and Jesus pointed out their problem.

After these events, the crowd came from everywhere, for they thought touch even the edge of Jesus' cloak they will be healed.

五千人吃飽,好像重演以色列人在曠野中的經歷,耶穌在水上行走很像摩西帶領以色列人過紅海。五年人吃飽卻是讓許多人經歷到的神蹟。經過此事後門徒對耶穌的信心是否增長?

為什麼耶穌要在海面行走,不是一下子到船上?因為海代表危險之地,代表耶穌勝過人的擔憂,勝過人以為的危險。海也因為耶穌的緣故有如陸地一般穩定。耶穌即使沒有在船上,一樣平靜風浪。神做事,人不明白,我們以為神在攔阻我們,其實是神讓我們更多經歷祂!

我們雖然不明白,但是耶穌還是愛我們,憐憫我們!有一天我們會明白神的用心良苦!

How?

Jesus is the Lord, he is the son of the Lord with the human body and God's power and Spirit.
