Below are highlights from this week’s class discussion.

 

Miracle #9 – Jesus Walks on Water – Matthew 14:22-36

Read the miracle. Fill in the table.

Overall impression

• Trust in the Lord.
• Oh, ye of little faith.
• Keep your eyes on Jesus.
• Following Jesus can be amazing.
• It’s not the first, or last, faith problem for Peter.

Complete this sentence: If I didn’t know so much about Jesus, this story would lead me to believe that He 

• appears to be a magician.
• is superman.
• is a sorcerer or The Son of God.

Pretend you are a disciple on the boat in this miracle. What were your first words when you saw a ghostly figure walking on the water?

• I’m seeing things!

Do you see that?

Where’s Jesus?

That must be Jesus.!

I’d make up a cause.

I would have been speechless.

Other: 

• “Who you gonna call?”
• Jesus met needs as they came up.

This happens immediately after feeding the 5000 in Matthew. What follows that miracle in Mark?

• The same thing.

Why would Jesus go somewhere to pray by himself at this time?

• He needed a break.

How do these three Old Testament scriptures relate to Jesus’s words in this miracle?

“It is I am.” (Ex. 3:14)

• God is not a “new god.”
• God will provide.

walking on the water

• (Job 9:8) tramples down the water.
• (Psalm 77:19) walks on the sea.

“Don’t be afraid” (Isaiah 41:10; 43:2,5)
