Matthew 14:26 / John 6:1,19
Did you know that the Sea of Galilee isn't actually a sea at all? It's a freshwater lake located in northern Israel, and its vital historical context is profound. This lake, in Hebrew called "Kinneret" because of its harp-like shape, has been a centerpiece of biblical events—and it’s notably lower than many other bodies of water, sitting about 700 feet below sea level.
Walking on water is one of those jaw-dropping moments that illustrates not just Jesus' miraculous abilities but also reinforces his divine connection with the natural forces. When the disciples saw him walking on the Sea of Galilee, they were initially terrified, believing they were witnessing a ghost. But Jesus comforted them, saying, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” This encounter deepens the understanding that awareness and faith are life preservers in turbulent waters.
Moreover, the Sea of Galilee was a significant hub for fishing, serving as the homestead for several of Jesus' disciples, like Simon Peter and Andrew. Can you imagine their awe watching someone they knew turning the norms of nature upside down right where their daily toil was?
Each ripple on the lake connects to a mosaic of biblical narratives—say, perhaps the calming of a storm or the miraculous catch of fish. Historically, the Sea of Galilee fuels tales of endurance, courage, and hope.
