What does John 6:21 mean? →

Passage Context

19So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
21Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
22The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his disciples were gone away alone;
23(Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeCompassionAweContentment

Jesus comes to His disciples during a storm on the sea, which was their worst nightmare. He tells them directly, "I Am, don't be afraid." There are two important things to notice here. First, Jesus calls Himself "I Am," which is the same name that God used to save Moses and the Israelites from Egypt. Second, He says something that the Bible mentions surprisingly often: "Don't be afraid." When we are willing to let Jesus into our lives in the middle of storms and messes, He not only says, "I Am, don't be afraid!" but also helps us find our way to our most important destination: ultimate deliverance.

Prayer

O God, the great I Am, You delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, You gave David impressive victories, and You brought Jesus back to life. I have faith that You can protect me from whatever lies ahead. If I don't act with the boldness that this kind of faith demands, kindly pardon me and give me the strength to more firmly believe in Your presence. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
