Job 9:8 and 38:16 picture God as one who walks on water.
Dont look at the miracle, look at the miracle worker
We Don’t Have Anything
The people’s greatest need as a shepherdless flock was the teaching of Jesus
It was not food or clothing
They need truth to guide them to the one who provided all things
The disciples are still in need of this truth
They are still thinking according to worldly thoughts
EG: The Messiah came to free us from Rome, provide safety and prosperity for us in Israel
They needed to learn that they and everyone else needed Jesus only
Jesus will often remind us of this after we have been living in victory and success for a while
They had just returned from a successful missionary journey (6:12-13,30-31)
They were probably feeling pretty confident and invincible at that moment so Jesus says to them, “give ye them to eat” (37)
Jesus Plus Nothing Equals All that is Needed
Jesus is the provider of all things
He is able to meet the needs of the disciples and the crowds
But it was not about the miracle of the loaves, He wanted the disciples to see him as the miracle worker
He wanted them to trust in him to sustain them
To trust in him in every circumstance
“Maybe” this is the reason there are twelve baskets remaining
One for each disciple as a token of his providence
A reminder that he can do above and beyond what we can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20)
Hard Hearts Miss the Message
They missed the message so they needed to continually be taught (51-52)
Jesus not only taught the message of humility but modeled it for them
He rejected the crowds desire to make him King of Israel
He departed alone into the moutain to pray
In the mountain he was dependant on his father for protection and providence
As a man, he continually called out to his father for help and guidance
He reminded them of who he was
Don’t be afraid, It is I
Just as God told Moses as he sent him to Egypt (Exodos 3:14)
Job 9:8 and Job 38:16 show that in Jewish belief, God is one who can walk on water as its creator and master
Because they had not yet excepted Christ as Lord and Savior they could not live in peace
They saw his works and even did his works but they are missing the Savior
If we do all things in the name of Christ but do not have him, we have nothing
Don’t miss the message
