SEVEN SIGNS: Jesus Walks on Water

When Jesus walked on water He demonstrated His divine power over nature—the natural forces of gravity, the laws of physics, even the ability to move effortlessly through a driving wind on a raging sea. It’s no surprise, therefore, that this miracle stands out among Jesus’ many works. John included this event among his limited list of miraculous signs that prove Jesus to be the Son of God (compare John 20:30-31). In addition to performing an amazing miracle by walking on water, Jesus also demonstrated His loving care for His frightened and floundering disciples. From this incident we learn that we can trust Jesus no matter how stormy life becomes.
