Did You Learn Anything? - Mark 6:43-56
"What is a miracle on earth is ordinary in Heaven!”
The sermon I wish I could preach – ‘after you have seen the feeding of 5000 everything else is easy!’ That message does not exist – in fact it seemed to get worse instead of better. Jesus sends the disciples on ahead so He can go and pray – but a storm hits! While they may be out of sight they were never out of care. Jesus meets them on the water and delivers them to the western shore. However, instead of returning to some rest and prayer immediately the crowds gather and Jesus take back up the burdens of ministry and compassion – no rest for the weary! Sunday we will get in the boat with the disciples and watch as Jesus meets them in the storm – as He meets us in our storms. Like the disciples we are sometimes guilty of knowing what God can do – seeing what God can do – then doubting what God will do. Come Sunday to be encouraged and challenged – we must pay attention – God is good!
