The Sea of Galilee

This afternoon, we went sailing on the Sea of Galilee. This is where Jesus walked on water, where he calmed the stormy sea with just a word, where he gave his disciples a miraculous catch of fish, where he preached from a boat to multitudes, and where he prepared a meal for his disciples on the shoreline after his resurrection.

Mark shared a message from Matthew 14. After feeding the 5000, he sent his disciples ahead of him to cross the sea to the other side. But they were caught in a storm and spent the entire night struggling to make any progress. Early in the morning, Jesus came to them walking on the water. They thought he was a ghost and were afraid.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
Matthew 14:27

Jesus is with us through the storms of life, even in situations where we think we're skilled enough to be self-reliant.Læs mere
