IT IS I!
Today we read about=
THE DISCIPLES of Jesus=BEING AFRAID
And Jesus
Coming to their RESCUE!
HOW OFTEN=
Do we become AFRAID=ONLY
To have Jesus come=and sooth our fears?
Jesus told the apostles=
“IT IS I!”=when they were afraid=
And he tells us=THE SAME THING
When we are CHOKING
On our real life STRUGGLES=
Our health fears=our financial fears
And our relationship fears=
“IT IS I!”
“WHEN it was evening=
The disciples of Jesus=WENT
Down to the sea=embarked in a boat…….
Jesus had NOT YET=come to them
The sea was stirred up=
Because a strong wind=was blowing
When they had rowed=about
Three or four miles=they saw Jesus
WALKING on the sea…….and
They began=TO BE AFRAID
But he said to them=
‘IT IS I=do not be afraid’” John
6:16-20
Think of YOUR STRUGGLES
Through your life=FEAR
Can do strange things=TO OUR psyches
But think about=your past STRUGGLES
And how Jesus=CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
To save you==to save me
How COMFORTABLE it is to hear
“IT IS I!”
From our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ=Coming to RESCUE us
COMING TO SVE US!
“IT IS I=proclaiming victory=
Mighty to SAVE”
Isaiah 63:1
“She will give=birth
To a son=and you are
To give him=the name Jesus
Because he WILL SAVE his people
From their sins”
Matthew 1:21
“Remember this=
Whoever turns a sinner
From the error=of their way
WILL SAVE them=
From death=and cover over
A multitude of sins”
James 5:20
Dear Lord=we PRAY
When we are STRUGGLING=with
The rough winds=of our LIVES
Health=financial=and relationship
HELP us to=OPEN our hearts
And open up minds= so we can
HEAR you say=”IT IS I”
Coming to SAVE YOU
From the rough water and winds
Of your life
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our ever loving=EVER
SAVING=Holy Father God!
