Do You Know WHY Jesus Walked on Water? The Mark Series part 22
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 12. 2019
- One of the most important things in the Gospel of Mark is the identity of Jesus. But many people don't realize that Mark is telling who Jesus is through the stories about what Jesus did. When we look at the text carefully we can see one amazing revelation after another revealing the "high Christology" of the gospel of Mark. In other words, the skeptics who sometimes claim Mark has a low view of the person of Christ are completely mistaken. In the passage we are in today (6:45-56) we will see that Jesus' walking on water has an interesting connection to the book of Job and, once again, is best explained by connecting the person of Christ to God Himself. I'll also tackle some challenges to the accuracy of the Gospel of Mark when he talks about the journey's of the disciples across the Sea of Galilee.

*“God seems more committed to my character than my comfort” WOW!!! amen and thank you Holy Ghost.*
I hate that statement.
But… it’s true, so we have to accept and submit to whatever He wants to do in our life.
Powerful quote isn’t it?
Fake news
Comfort will come when our character is right. There will always be a new storm. Not the same storm, Amen, because we can have eternal victory forever in Christ.
Read Job 9:8 in the Old Testament: He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea.

When you said "maybe stop the video now and pray for 10 mintes if you're watching online" I did because I knew I was lacking prayer - thank you, it really did rejuvenate my soul to focus on God.
I live in pain. Most people don't get what that means. You will suffer, there are trials, be prepared. It is really the only salve.
God Bless you.
mackdmara yeah, only you know about pain. 😒 You’re an idiot
@@amyrenee1361 did nothing for anyone...except mark people who turn to Him with the Holy Spirit. So at the end he will perfect them completely through his sacrifice. Then they will be with God forever, without blemish. Evil runs rampant on earth because people sin and continue to reject God. Without God there is nothing. Christians turn to Jesus minute by minute until they die. Evil is the fault of man rejecting God. Jesus promises to cleanse us and set us free if we believe on Him.
I am grateful for the teaching, thank you
You are an awesome humble teacher Mr. Winger. Praise the Lord Jesus for you and this ministry.
I realize that the numbers don't matter, but over half a million people have heard this message from you and I can't imagine how many of those God has blessed through you. May God continue to guide you to reach people.
'David, I need you to make really bad music' 🤭😆 I appreciate your teaching style greatly. Truth, without all the puffed upness, the 'yelling key points while repeating them 5xs. Just straight from God's words with humility and a gentle spirit. I'm learning so much and truly funding my hunger to go deeper, to understand more of who God is rather than how in my younger years I'd search to find me in the Bible or look for direct answers if I'm making sense. I can definitely know in my spirit that God lead me here and the spirit of our Lord is with this pastor. Thank you over and over again 🙏
Same here!
By far my favorite videos are the Christologys from the old testament, the beneficiarys of the most famous bible study in history (on the road to ammeas) are the authors of the new testament, people often ignore the old testament out of confusion, the disciples taught jesus from the scripture they had and knew, not the new testament. Thank you for this content, I'm just starting my journey with biblical faith, don't have a church family at this time, I love your heart for this stuff.
God Bless you, enjoy your journey by the leading of the Holy Spirit
I never even THOUGHT about that question before! I just ASSUMED he walked on water, out of CONVENIENCE... Seriously! I just figured it was more convenient for him, than simply waiting around, for a boat ride... Now I'm really curious about what YOU think the reason was. I sure look forward to watching THIS video Mike!
If you try literally walking on the surface of a lake, you'll discover that it's very inconvenient. Besides which, according to Luke-Acts Jesus could just kinda fly around and appear and disappear anyplace he wanted, which is a helluvalot more convenient than riding in a boat in bad weather and trekking the Jerico road, etc. But the author of Luke-Acts may have been kinda confused about that matter, since the other Gospel authors report nothing of that sort. Gee,if a thing like that were true, EVERYONE would have been talking about it and asking for demos and writing about it.
@David Johnson Lame. You of little faith.
@@servantofmessiah1071 My faith is not in superstitions, so thank you for recognizing that fact.
What's more.... hmmm..... Are you knowledgeable in the Bible, especially the New Testament and especially the Pauline epistles? If so, we could probably have an interesting conversation.
Lol. Precious. Chuckle. Convenience. You are so cute.
With God, nothing happens by what we call "chance." Everything that happened that day was ORCHESTRATED by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Thanks for all the work you do to teach us God’s Word. Your humble spirit and transparency is inspiring. You are appreciated.

"And now my heart is perfect and pure in every way" -- Mike Winger. So glad the lightening didn't turn you to charcoal on the spot, because I very much appreciate your messages. High point for me in this one is when you tied Jesus' walking on the water to God, in Job, proclaiming that he is the one who walks on the water.
I've supposed walking on water to be no more unnatural than the surface tension that prevents falling through the floor or anything else supposedly supportive. I reasoned that the creator of the universe could easily change the surface tension of water so it could be walked on. This thinking doesn't negate His divinity, but I'm glad for Mike's emphasis on Mark promoting the divinity of our Lord! Also PRAYER! I paused the tape and prayed! Thank you, Mike!
Mike, thank you SO much for the study you do to bring forth what is going on in scripture that we would otherwise miss. God bless you for it. I was moved to tears and a place of deeply felt love for the One who does not pass by but gets into the boat with us, with me. Praise His Holy Name. On a much lighter note, it was a shock at first when I opened the video to see someone in a short-sleeved shirt as where I live it is snowy winter! Looking forward to the next installment of Mark.
@ Joseph Beckmann Thank you. God bless you as well.
Be careful about assuming a hardship is a trial meant to test your faith. Very *very* few people have faith worthy of being tested, and until they do God uses hardships to discipline those he loves. If you’re being disciplined to stop doing something you shouldn’t be doing, or to start doing something you should be doing, and you instead just go on as usual assuming it’s a “trial” rather than discipline, you’re just asking for more discipline. If we judge ourselves properly God doesn’t have to judge us and we can avoid hardships. Being trained by this produces righteousness and peace, and prepares you for eventually being tested.
Interesting comment. I've never heard it put that way but always wondered what is the difference between discipline and testing. Thanks!
He walked on water to show he was the same spirt of God that hovered over the face of the deep during creation....
That was the holy spirit not the word of God.
What's the name of the holy spirit again??...we have God who is Yahweh or Jehovah, then we have His son Jesus, who is called Yeshua. God gave every soul a name. Tell me some quotes of the holy spirit, what's he famous for saying? We have quotes from God and Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 "There is One God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."
Jesus Shaves
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them - Acts 13:2
And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me (Acts 20:22,23).
@@vaccineymartini9293 The Councilor
God gave Jesus the power to walk on the water and to show his disciples that they had to have faith to trust in him and God.
Wow. The part on trusting is so timely. Our car just broke and I just realized I need to trust God and be at peace and not stress about it.
I’ve been waiting for this video! 😇
Our ignorance is what does us in. These things have been viewed on such a surface level, when there is so much more to it. Wow! The majesty of God, the wonder of how Jesus revealed Himself when He walked among mankind. God is magnificent! Thanks again for digging this out!
Thank you Mike for shining Jesus into our lives. Thank You Jaweh, that you bless us more than we can ask or think; pour rich blessings onto Mike that he may shine our Saviour more and more•••
Having the KNOWLEDGE that God is with me and that transcends my feelings…. Nailed it! Our feelings are like the clouds in the sky…. Having knowledge… that’s grounding … solid Earth truth
Beautiful. Got a good dose of Christology there. Brought me to my knees in worship.
Congrats Mr. Winger on the 100k sub milestone:) Keep doing what you doing.
Aww that's awesome. Congratulations brother Mike. May Our Father continue blessing you and your ministry and your family also, in His Mighty and Holy Name.

God bless you Pastor Mike. For all you do
You need a normal order of things in order to know when God is acting… BRILLIANT!! I knew this concept, but I absolutely love the way you worded it, Pastor Mike! That is better than my standard, “If God created all of this and made the natural laws, he would also have the power to break them in any way he chooses.”
🔹️The reason why Christ walked on water, He was fulfilling all the things that was written of him in the law of moses and the prophets and psalms concerning Him which He said MUST be fulfilled.
🔸️Luke 24:44 KJV - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
🔹️The time He walked on the sea and even when He spoke to the sea, these prophecies were written in the psalms & prophets.
🔸️Job 9:8 KJV - Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
🔸️Psalm 93:4 KJV - The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
🔸️Psalm 89:9 KJV - Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
🔸️Psalm 29:10 KJV - The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
Jesus walked on water to get to the other side of the zodiac.
He walked on water to demonstrate he is the same spirt that hovered over the face of the deep.... the disciples would have recognized that.
You are absolutely correct. Nice presentation on your answer.
Yes many people don’t recognize that. This is true in so many ways when he said Mathew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” I did a study on this passage and found out so many things about Jesus’s life, death and resurrection were detailed all the way in the Old Testament laws. It would blow you mind.
Correct, you are sharp
I have a very active relationship with God (specifically when it comes to prayer and study), but I struggle immensely with attending church due to the fact that I have major social anxiety, and am usually in a state of near panic when I have to be around other people. Another complicating factor is that I'm nocturnal, so it's difficult to find a church service that takes place when I'm not asleep...
Look up the DARE approach to anxiety. Fear is a liar. The only way out of it is through it.
My boys at 100k!!!!!!! I been here for a grip
Yeah Lol!
Time to lose some of the crowd 😀
Thank you for making this comment! I am now subscribed as well!
Thank you Mike!! Your teachings and expositions of scripture are so encouraging and precious! As in valuable. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us! And now He has given to us the Holy Spirit and we still have Emmanuel!! It is also significant that you said we are not just a little different from the world, we have a completely different worldview. In my life there are times that I forget that, but then sometimes I have an encounter that highlights that fact. As has been happening in my life quite frequently recently. It was like, whoa, you see completely differently from me don't you?
God gives us eyes to see restoring the sight of the blind! Hallelujah.
It is also significant that a blind person even in the presence of light can't see. It is not that God is not with us, but that the world is blind even in the presence of the true Light of God.
May we soften our hearts before God and believe Him in a faithful trust that He is good and He is enough. That prayer time alone was of great benefit to me.
Thank you for encouraging that, saying to pause the video.
Prayer and fasting is the very thing that softens our hearts to hear and see God.
Jesus teaches this to his disciples after casting out the demons from the son with the palsey casting into the fire and the water.
So thank you Mike!! May we soften our hearts before Him, getting alone with Him, honoring Him for who He is daily! He is worthy of it all!
Thank your for your teachings mike it really helps me since I’m in a position where I can’t go to church.

Love when a new Mike Winger sermon comes out!
What a blessing!!! Loved the exposition.
Love the job connection, as a mormon I had no idea, the English translations can be misleading on the nature of Jesus's identity, the more I learn in the old testament the more things I recognize as significant. He is doing things that would make sense to people that know their scriptures, on his own authority which is important.
Danvan2 Ruth Are you really mormon? If so, would love for you to comment on Mike’s love of the Bible, because I hope you’re learning some really fantastic and wonderful things! God bless!
Now if you can only realize he’s not satans brother but rather his creator as Christ created all things. And you know I really would just like to leave y’all to your deception that your in being morman and hope God will just understand that you really didn’t mean to be deceived by Joseph smith but what if he’s going to hold us all accountable to recognize the truth of Christ to be saved in him. I don’t know. I think I’d rather be safe than sorry and make sure that I don’t presuppose I have the truth about Christ but really do my homework and find out if I’ve learned him the way He wants us to learn him.

Thank you for your input and opening scripture in ways I have not yet experienced.
God created a way through the sea. Jesus is the way.
That SpongeBob example made me lol at work, and that was such a good illustration. I will absolutely be using that in the future when talking about miracles 😂
At the 20 minute mark you hit a topic that has been on my heart for a while. When we appeal to the masses, we've stepped into a strange identity. Oeople who want to be fed stick around. I've seen a pandering to our culture at large that demonizes people of faith because they are "judgmental" and not free flowing like the culture. Thank you for validating the wrongness of this. I truly felt there was something wrong with me until I heard you say what's been on my heart.
The disciples obediently crossed the water, despite probably being aware of an incoming storm. It's funny to think how they still didn't realize what kind of person Jesus was when they acted in faith. Like, they definitely didn't realize Jesus would eventually be somehow walking beside them during the storm. Sometimes in my life Jesus will do things I don't expect. It's kind of what makes him alive, his unpredictability. This is a being that is interacting back to me, in response of what I do. I love the "wow I didn't expect that" feeling of pursuing God. It feels like I'm engaged with something that is alive and thinks independently.

I wanted to know how But now I’m studying why, ok let’s go!
Love it every time :😍😄😍😍😍😄
The gospel of Mark is the action adventure story of the for biographies of Jesus of Nazareth. Mark focuses on the action. What is going on. He takes Peter's accounts of Jesus of Nazareth and puts them into an action adventure story for his readers.
While Peter was a disciple of Jesus before the crucifixion, he was a loudmouth man of action. it makes sense that his recollection would focus on the action events describing and exemplifying who Jesus is, God in the flesh.
Mike, congrats on the 100k! Glory to God!

Excellent Bible teacher
Job 9:8
Exactly!
Cool!
Wow!!! I’m so happy to learn that! Jesus is God! Hallelujah!!! Thank you Mike! Thank you M Warren!
I love the thought that Jesus walked by on the water to reveal them who he really is. But they still don’t get it.
Similar to these verses: „He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.“
Psalms 107:29 ESV
And: „And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.“
Mark 4:39 ESV
How Jesus must have thought ‚know your scriptures, men!‘ no wonder he got angry that they still didn’t recognize their creator.
„He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"“
Mark 4:40 ESV
I have a long list with verses in the NT that reveal Jesus to represent YHWH of the OT. But this one was new, I really appreciate it.
350 in my list :)
Thank you so very much 😊🙏!
simple That is how Jesus rolls and he is just cool
Yeah I think he’s holy too or something like that. Dude he’s Almighty God and he’s not just cool he’s the source of it. Let’s give him the reverence due. You know like the Apostles and the prophets did and do. You know those cats of the holy word of God. Sorry for busting on you but these are perilous times and people want to make Christ into a super star of this world but don’t understand he created the star’s and everything else.
@@yknot1685 We sometimes overcorrect, when no correction is due. He is God and also Man at the same time he can cool and holy at the same time. he can cook fish and laugh with his friends the disciples and he is the one with hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eye were as a flame of fire . both can be true and are true this is without contradiction
Yes thank you. And you are right about over correcting. You’ve helped me grow a little more and thanks for being kinder than I.
@@rightdoctrine3922 I am guessing from what you wrote you do not believe Jesus was God? Right
@@rightdoctrine3922 Well, you did put together number ideas however I do not think they necessarily support your conclusions. But not actually answering the question I going to make the assumption that you do not believe Jesus is God. Just to be clear I do believe in Jesus and I believe He is the one true and only God
Because it's an impossible feat? Why does there need to be some huge explanation? So many scholars are so quick to create some grand and fabulous meaning when the answer is LITERALLY right in front you.
GOD does not require a Ph.D to know Him.
Regarding John 6, and speaking hard words that "shrunk" his following, I've always felt that Jesus intentionally put people in a position where they had to make a choice: Do I abandon Jesus the first time I can't make sense of him, or do I choose to love him and follow him, even if I don't understanding everything?
Congrats on 100k subscribers!
I'd like to here more on this "time to sleep" you speak of. Specifically when and how long I can sleep...

Regarding the Lord walking on the water...in Job 9:8 it says: Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
We believe it was also another confirmation of Who Jesus Is. God Himself...walking on the water...treading the sea!
Jesus, walking on water, is Dagon (fish + sun).

@mikewinger what do you think about the series on the gospels called “the chosen”? Or the idea of bible theatrics in general?
Possible video idea that you’ve probably already considered
It baffles me why people disliked this study.
I really don't understand.
Haven't watched the video yet, but very basically, I would say to show his control over the creation he created. To show that he is beyond his creation and can manipulate it as his Father sees fit for him to. Everything the Father does, he does also.
I haven't yet watched the video EITHER. But when I read your comment, it sure seemed, to ME, to be spot on! I hadn't ever really thought there even WAS a specific reason why he walked on water... other than out of mere CONVENIENCE. Seriously! Now I'm sure looking forward to hearing MIKE'S thought on this!
Every single miracle made by Yeshua was telling to jews, now to us, WHO HE IS.
Just like in the Old Covenant, we see Him on eternity, being called "the father", showing to the Jews WHO HE IS, to be recognized there and to be recognized here on Earth.
He was called the father? I thought he was known as "I Am".
Jesus is NOT the Father. Stupid modalist!
@@justchilling704 - Try to read The Bible and to learn a lot of Hebrew.
It will help a lot!
The use of "father" referring to The Creator was generic, true but generic, meaning THE CREATOR of all things and all human beings...
...look: Dt 32:6
; 2Sm 7:14; 1Cr 28:6; Sl 68:5; Sl 89:26; Sl 103:13; Is 63:16; Is 64:8; Jr 3:4; Jr 3:19; Jr 31:9;
Ex 4:22, the father of Israel (generic).
Here the difference between the generic and the second stage of the salvific process: At 13:33 and Hb 1:5
Now to us: Rm 8:15
There's a huge difference between our "occidental way of thinking" and the way a Hebrew used to understand things.
That's not just the writing direction (right to left).
For example, the future is ahead and the past is behind us, right?
NOOO, the Hebrew understands that the future is behind and the past is in front of us because we can see what we did in the past, so this is right in front of our eyes. And the future, of course, is behind us because we can't see it.
In the same pattern, when you call some "son of somebody" you may be calling that person "the same as somebody" (where "somebody" is the name of someone else). That's because of they understand that you are a continuation of your carnal father because you got out of him - so you are "your father 2.0 version" (just to help you figure out).
And that's the main revelation in Mt 16:16.
And only those that understood that could truly follow Christ ("the man" Jesus is called Christ just like he is called "the lamb of The Creator" because he was made to die for us). And that WHY we see many interpolating references to The Creator and Jesus through all the epistles...
Thanks Mike! and HOORAY!!! Look at what God is doing for your channel!! Immanuel indeed friend!
Job 9:8 and 9:11 & Mark 6:48 being direct quotes from the LXX *_W A S_* *_M I N D_* *_B L O W I N G!!_*
In case someone doesn't know "ego eimi" (ἐγώ εἰμι) is God's response to Moses' question, "what will I say is your name" in Exodus 3:14, so when Jesus refers to Himself as ἐγώ εἰμι, He is calling Himself God and in John 8:24 He says "if you believe not that ἐγώ εἰμι, you will die in your sin!"
Want to get closer to God and understand His word?? ..It helps me to pray Psalm 119!
Hey guys, just wondering, does anyone know where to find the Edward James commentary that Mike is referring to at 50:00?

I think the simpler answer for why Jesus made the disciples get in the boat can be found at 35:30 in your explanation. They were fishermen and knew it was a bad idea from a sailing perspective.
Genesis
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Mike, it's GREAT that you brought up the ego eimi statement in Mrk6:50 (at 49:42)
I've always thought it strange that essentially ALL of our English versions translate that ἐγώ εἰμι as "it is I" , even many of the literal translations like Young's don't translate it as a straight "I am," but supply other words. But then these same bibles all consistently translate John's usage of the same Greek as "I am." As well as Mrk14:62... Jesus' answer to Pilate is also rendered by most English versions, "I am."
Kinda cool... all of the traditional Spanish Bibles, (Osos, SE, RV1909, RV1960, etc), render Mrk6:50 & Mat14:27 as YO SOY.
Yes, God manipulates nature. As in he USES it. People try to disprove God with science, but fail to realize science and the Bible go hand in hand. And the more we learn and discover, the more we see that to be true.
I absolutely agree with you, brother.
@@jonathant.6382 you ever seen something called the exodus decoded? It basically gives the scientific explanation of what happened. YHWH basically used a volcanic eruption close by to rain hell on Egypt until they freed his people. It’s pretty cool.
Mike, can you give us your take on the chapter 44+ of the book of Ezekiel? Specifically the temple and the sons of Zadok
The fact is that there are wars and natural disasters, tornados, earthquakes, fires, etc. there were examples where cities were decimated and rather than rebuild on the same sight, the peoples would rebuild adjacent. That was another theory about Bethsaida.
About the mirage theory: Is it sensible that about 12 men see the same thing at the same time at the same place and hear the same thing? Because that's my counter argument before knowing the science/physics.
48:03 Beautiful.
The bread is Virgo (Beth Lehem) and the two fishies are Pisces (Beth Saida). Beth Saida (down here) is also Sidon Lebanon where the purple dye was harvested. Grassy field = spring season.
What nonsense .what does the gospelwriters say

I suppose you don't even know that Jesus married his mother and became father and son.
simply put... as a testimony to prove that Jesus....IS.... God in the flesh.
Why did Jesus walk on water? To get to the other side.
HEARD IT
Pretty sure that the John 6 thing is because, once he explained that his WORDS were the bread of life, those people who initially wanted him to provide more bread for them (like with the multiplying of the bread) then left.
Luke 24:45 HE opened their understanding.
It wasn’t to get to the other side!!
