Day 17- Jesus Demonstrates Power over Nature Itself
Five small loaves of bread and two fish. How many can that feed? Maybe an afternoon snack for a few people. Not so with Jesus. He lifts the meager meal to Heaven and prays a blessing. Then He instructs His disciples to serve the food to the masses and it supernaturally multiplies to feed 5,000 men in addition to the women and children! Bible scholars suggest the crowd to be 12,000 people or more. Afterwards He sends His disciples on a boat across the Sea of Galilee while He goes alone into the nearby hills to pray. Later that night He walks across the waters to meet His disciples who are fighting a terrible storm that has suddenly risen up and threatening to drown them. He answers Peter's request to join Him on the waters and Peter, the fisherman, steps out of the boat and walks on the waters with His Lord. When they get back into the boat the winds cease and the waters become calm. What can Jesus not do? Surely He is the Son of God; and they worshiped Him.
