Sometimes we can read something in the Bible that we are familiar with, and just skip on by it without really thinking about what it said.
Reading John 6:16-19 (NIV) today, "When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were frightened."
Think about that for a minute. Jesus walked on water.
The last time I checked, this is not possible. But Jesus is not limited by how the laws of physics tell us this world works.
He simply decided he needed to get into that boat and that, in this particular instance, the laws of nature simply would not apply to him.
That is what it truly means to be Lord. It's one thing to have unlimited wealth, or an army, at your command. It is very much another to decide where and when to do the impossible.
But being creator, he could do that.
And it is this same Jesus who humbles himself and calls us friend.
After 30 plus years of serving the Lord, I am still amazed at just how much there is to know about him.
