Jesus, Man and God
Matthew 14:1-36
Jesus: A prophet without honour
Herod and John the Baptist
A very ‘human miracle’: Feeding the 5000
– Jesus’ desire and need for rest
– Jesus’ compassion as a model for us
– Food … a very human need
A very divine miracle: Walking on Water
– Jesus comes out to the disciples
– Jesus the divine ruler: “It is I – don’t be afraid”
– Peter’s faith and doubt on display (v29-31)
What now for us?
– The call on believers to trust Jesus … with everything!
– What about doubt? … What do we do when we find it hard to trust?
