Summary
Through the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water, the preacher demonstrates that Jesus uniquely combines divine power with tender compassion. These miracles reveal Jesus as the Good Shepherd who sees the deepest needs of his people—spiritual and physical—and calls believers to trust him completely in a world beyond their control.
Highlights
Jesus is our shepherd, and His heart is moved for them. He sees their fear, their pain, and instead of pushing them away, He moves towards them.
We desperately want and need to know someone who has control. Jesus is the Lord, the master of creation, and nothing escapes the attention of our Lord Jesus.
With God on our side, we cannot lose. With God unwilling to spare his own son, we can trust him for today and for tomorrow.
