When Jesus Walks Into the Middle of Your Storm When Jesus walks on water, John invites us to see more than an astonishing sign. The same God who brought order to the chaotic waters in Genesis comes close when your own life feels stormy. He meets you in the darkness with these reassuring words: “It is I; do not be afraid” (John 6:20). At first glance, this part of John 6 feels like a simple journey from one place to another. Jesus has just fed thousands, and soon He will teach that He is the Bread of Life. For now, the disciples just need to cross the Sea of Galilee. But even an ordinary trip can become a moment of discovering who Jesus is.

Had we read to verse forty-one last Sunday in Luke twelve - we might have faced an almost, maybe, unanswered question. Peter asked, "Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?" Some say Jesus didn't answer Peter's question while others believe Jesus did respond and it was a yes, it was to them, his followers and not to everyone else.
