BOAT RIDE SEA OF GALILEE

We had such a blessed time to recall Jesus' and his experiences with the fishermen.

Using a replica of the wooden fishing boat from 'The disciples' time, we set sail on the Sea of Galilee. Time and scripture reading as we recall Jesus' experiences with the fishermen.

Jesus walking on the water, or on the sea, is depicted as one of the miracles of Jesus recounted in the New Testament.

There are accounts of this event in three Gospels—Matthew, Mark, and John—but it is not included in the Gospel of Luke. This story, following the miracle of the feeding of the five thousand, tells how Jesus sent the disciples by ship back to the "other side" of the Sea of Galilee (the western side) while he remained behind, alone, to pray.

Night fell, and the sea arose as the ship became caught in a wind storm. After rowing against the wind for most of the night, the disciples saw Jesus walking on the water. They were frightened, thinking that they were seeing a spirit, but when Jesus told them not to be afraid, they were reassured. After Jesus entered the ship, the wind ceased, and they arrived at land.Læs mere
