This chapter is full of meat that shows Jesus not just to be an angel or miracle worker, but God in human flesh, God’s Son. This is especially pertinent to me because of an encounter I have yesterday with Jehovah’s Witnessses. Consider just a little bit from this chapter…
- 14 – He healed their sick. He has dominion over the human body and the natural order, because He made the natural order.
- 20 – Jesus blesses the food and in His hands five loaves and two fish become enough to feed perhaps 20,000-25,000 people. Remember, the Gospel writers say there were five thousand men. They don’t include the women and children in their number. So Jesus here is a Creator.
- 26 – Jesus walks on the sea. He’s not wading through the water, but instead walking on top of the water.
- 30 – The Jewish disciples, Peter in this case, were willing to ascribe to Jesus the title of “Lord.” But just the Lord, also the One who could save.
- 33 – The people who knew Him best and spend the most time with Him, who were all Jews, believed He was God’s Son.
- 36 – If you just touch Him He heals you.
Glory be to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God in human flesh.
