LESSONS FROM THE CHAPTER

We first saw Jesus feed over 5000 people. What did Jesus say? They do not need to go away because Jesus can provide, satisfy, and give you abundantly more than you need.

Then we saw Jesus walking on the water. What is Jesus’ showing? It does not matter what is going on in life, Jesus can provide and satisfy. Jesus has full control to be able to give you what you need.

Do not go away from him when you are struggling in life. Jesus can provide, satisfy, and give you abundantly more than you need. Do not go away from him to take care of your needs. Jesus can provide, satisfy, and give you abundantly more than you need. Do not leave Jesus and give into temptations to fulfill your desires. Jesus can provide, satisfy, and give you abundantly more than you need or desire. Do not leave Jesus because you see the winds howling in your life. Jesus can provide, satisfy, and give you abundantly more than you need. Do not doubt him.

When the disciples are screaming in fear in the boat, Jesus tells them to have courage and to not be afraid. Why should they have courage and not be afraid? Because Jesus is in complete control of the situation. Do not be afraid because Jesus has you in this moment. Do not run from him and do not doubt because he has you in this moment.

This is your moment to walk to Jesus. This is not your moment to sink into the sea. Jesus is sufficient for your life. He will provide for you. He will satisfy you. He will give you abundantly more than you need. But you have to see him in charge of the storm. You have to see him as Lord over your life. You have to see that he will tell the winds to stop when it is time for the winds to stop. Jesus has the power to provide and he has the compassion to care for you.

Notice how verses 34-36 says Jesus crossed back to the other side of the sea. When the people recognized him, they went to him with the sick, believing that if they could just touch Jesus they would be healed. “And as many as touched him were made well” (14:36).

We must recognize him as the Son of God. Then we must go to him for our needs, for our desires, and for our healing. Jesus will provide, satisfy, and give abundantly more than we need. Then we worship him because he see him in control of the storm. Then we worship him because he has given us everything we need because we got out of the boat and trusted him with our lives and he did not let us sink. Peter’s failure did not end in catastrophe because Jesus did not fail him. You can trust him with your life.
