The Israel Tour: Sea of Galilee

Journey to the Holy Land...

Journey with me on this trek as I share with you my Israel Tour! We begin with the Sea of Galilee!

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. John 6:15-21

Jesus walks on the Sea of Galilee... Breath-taking. Speechless. Amazed!

This picture was taken at Kfar Nahum or Capernaum looking out at the Sea of Galilee. Immediately, when seeing this cross on the gate I thought of Jesus walking on the water. This thought poured in... 

Image strolling by the Sea of Galilee. You notice a boat coming near the shoreline. All of a sudden, you see a man walking on water toward the boat. What thoughts plunge into your mind? How would you respond as an observer viewing from the seashore? Would you scream out to the boat, "Watch Out?" Would you turn your head and look the other way? Or, would you take the time to pray for them?

Today's Challenge: Do you see Jesus coming toward someones "boat?" Does it seem like He is approaching them in a different way than He approached you? Are you trying to help them experience Jesus only from your point of view? Jesus is creative and individual in the way He reaches each one of us. When God allows us a shoreline view, take the opportunity to PRAY! May the Lord bless you through this picture!
