Jesus\u2019 disciples went down to the lake where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark. Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. The disciples were too far from the shore, too long in the struggle, too small against the waves. And Jesus was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

Have you ever encountered a dangerous, ominous, seemingly God-forsaken storm? Storms overtake us, and it sometimes seems they will never end. But then the unimaginable happens. John gives no details, just this economical statement. \u201cThey saw Jesus walking on the water\u201d (John 6:19). That\u2019s all we need to know. Before Jesus stills the storms, he comes to us in the midst of our storms. And he\u2019ll come and meet you in yours. Remember friend, you are never alone.<\/p>\n
