Mark 6:47-48 CEV

[47] Later in the evening he was still there by himself, and the boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake. [48] He could see that the disciples were struggling hard, because they were rowing against the wind. Not long before morning, Jesus came toward them. He was walking on the water and was about to pass the boat.

Mark 6:47-48 CEV

More miracles.

It's a stormy night. 

Pitch black.

Jesus is up in the hills and he can see what's going on in the middle of the lake.

Jesus is then walking on the lake and catches up to them.

Jesus is limited by his humanity, yet at the same time is not limited by the things that his team were struggling with. 

The wind.

The storm.

The struggle.

He'd been outside it, above it, praying through it with the Father.

I'm with the disciples here - when all you can hear is the wind, when we're in the storm, struggling, it's really difficult to see the Bigger Story that we're in

Jesus was feeling the rain, the lake, the wind, and yet at the same time was walking through it

There's mystery here for us to sit with

Jesus working miracles and yet his team are in the wind.

In the storm.

In the struggle.

There's faith for us to sit with. 

When we're in the wind.

In the storm.

In the struggle.

The disciples didn't have an answer.

But Jesus wanted them to see Him.
