Questions for Further Study or Group Discussion:
- Read John 6:16-21. Compare this account with Matthew 14:22-33 and Mark 6:45-52. What is different, the same? How does this story connect with the feeding of the 5,000?
- What does the Bible say about the “sea”? Use a concordance or search app. Be sure to consider Revelation 13:1 and 21:1. How does this shape our reading of Jesus’ walking on the sea?
- What does Jesus’ walking on the water signify?
- Why are the disciples terrified? Why should they not be terrified?
- What are you terrified about? How does Jesus’ personhood and presence alleviate those fears?
