In the darkness of our lives when the sea of trouble and woes are overwhelming. And the cold wind of panic floods our hearts, where is Jesus? Are we too grief stricken to see Him? Are we so caught up that we do not recognise Him?
Behold our Lord and God was among us and is among us now! Our risen Lord who even before His death and resurrection could still the winds and water; walk on the latter and bring us to safe harbour in the blink of an eye. He reassures us today,”Do Not Be Afraid…..I AM with you always.” Have we yet accepted Jesus our Lord and God into our hearts? Our minds? The very depths of our souls?
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Gospel John 6:16–21
When it was evening, the disciples of Jesus went down to the sea, embarked in a boat, and went across the sea to Capernaum. It had already grown dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea was stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they began to be afraid. But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.” They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading.
