Reflections
Our faith teaches us that Jesus actually walked on water – it is not a literary device but a historical event written in the Scriptures! Believing this to be true, we approach today’s reading of the Scriptures with reverence and awe! However, the question is how does this Scripture speak to us today, right now? How does it change our lives? The key is perhaps in the words ‘He spoke to them’ (v. 50 NIV). Jesus’ words are power and life. And the words He spoke to the terrified disciples two thousand years ago still speak to us all today, particularly if we are facing tumultuous waves of suffering, distress and challenge. Jesus always speaks these words to us: ‘Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid’ (v. 50 NIV).
