In our first Bible study of the year, we see Jesus walking on the stormy sea and nearly scaring his disciples (Mark 6:45-56). Even after realizing it was Jesus, the disciples were still astonished, “for they had not gained any insight” from what Jesus had done previously.
What is your experience of Jesus?
When we try to follow Jesus, there will undoubtedly be things that Jesus does or tells us to do that may frighten us. How does one love one’s enemies? How can one sacrifice their life for others whom they may not know? Can we really overcome the world and its temptations?
Jesus wants us to know that if he can do it, so can you. If we are faithful in following Jesus, all these things that Jesus does, by the grace of God, we can do also.
Do you have the insight to see this? 👀
