“We Walk by Faith” - 2 Cor. 5:7

“We Walk by Faith”

After Jesus fed the 5,000, the multitude following Him desired to make Him king by force (Jn. 6:15).

Jesus commanded His disciples to get into a boat and go to the other side of the Sea of Galilee.

“But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.”

Matt. 14:24-25

Night divided into 4 watches

4th watch 3-6 A.M.

They rowed the tossing boat 3 or 4 miles before they saw Jesus (Jn. 6:19)

“And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid."

Matt. 14:26-27

“When believers are in the place of obedience they are in the place of safety, no matter what the circumstances. The place of security is not the place of favorable circumstance, but the place of obedience to God’s will."

- J.W. McGarvey
