Caught In A Storm

Text: John 6:19-21

CAUGHT IN A STORM

The disciples were in a dilemma. They were caught in a sudden storm. Some of the disciples were fishermen and they had faced such storms before. In the first storm they were terrified. In this storm, that primal fear did not control them. A different kind of fear affected them adversely. The incident of the second storm was recorded in two other gospels (Matthew 14:22-33; Mark 6:45-52).

“So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid.’ Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.”

John 6:19-21

1. “So when they had rowed about three or four miles”

a. This was quite a distance.
b. And the disciples had left their Teacher behind on the mountain!

2. “They saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat”

a. The disciples knew that it was Jesus walking towards them.
b. But He was walking on the sea!
c. And there they were rowing their boat in a sudden storm.

3. “They were afraid”

a. The disciples thought Jesus was an apparition… a ghost (Matthew 14:26; Mark 6:49).
b. This fear was just as real as their fear of death.

4. “But He said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid.’”

a. Gently, Jesus calmed the fears of His disciples.
b. They need not fear; He was not a ghost!

5. “Then they willingly received Him into the boat”

a. And well they should!
b. This was their Teacher they had left behind on a mountain!

6. “And immediately the boat was at the land where they were going”

a. The storm had abated.
b. Jesus was with His disciples once again.
c. They had reached Capernaum safely!

经文：约翰福音 6：19-21

在风暴中

门徒们进退两难。他们遇见了突如其来的风暴。有些门徒曾经是渔夫，他们也遇见过类似的风暴。第一次的风暴使门徒们胆怯。在这第二次次的风暴中，使他们胆怯的不是他们最初的惧怕，而是另一种惧怕。第二次风暴的事件记载在其他两本福音里《马太福音 14：22-33；马太福音 6：45-52》。

“门徒摇橹约行了十里多路，看见耶稣在海面上走，渐渐近了船，他们就害怕。耶稣对他们说：‘是我，不要怕！’门徒就喜欢接他上船，船立时到了他们所要去的地方。”
