05.16.2016 New Testament: John 6.16–18

To read the Bible in a year, read John 6.1–21 on May 16, In the year of our Lord 2016

By Don Ruhl

Jesus had to flee people who wanted to force Him to be their king, and the disciples left also,

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 (John 6.16–18).

The Lord knew that the disciples would run into that storm, but He let it happen anyway, because He often tests us to see whether we will rely upon Him.

Questions:

• Do you rely upon the Lord in all the situations of life?
• Have you been in trouble and then later saw how it helped you?
