When Jesus Almost Passes By You

Revive Church Naperville

Sermon Summary: The sermon delves into the miracles of Jesus as depicted in Mark chapter 6, specifically the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus walking on water. These narratives are linked to reveal Jesus' divine nature and his identity as greater than Moses.

Key Points:

1. Jesus' miracles are not just demonstrations of power but carry deep symbolic meaning, connecting him to key figures like Moses and revealing his divine mission.
2. The feeding of the 5,000 is a pivotal event that symbolizes Jesus as the new Moses, providing manna in the wilderness, but this time offering a miraculous multiplication of loaves and fish.
3. Jesus walking on water is a moment of divine revelation, where he echoes God's name revealed to Moses with the declaration "I Am," affirming his divinity and fulfilling Old Testament prophecies.
4. The disciples' reactions to Jesus' miracles, ranging from awe to confusion and fear, mirror our own spiritual journey and the struggle to fully comprehend the divine.
5. The sermon addresses spiritual blindness and the hardened hearts of the disciples, drawing parallels to contemporary faith challenges and the importance of introspection and humility.
6. In the end, this story calls for a heart transformation. We cannot be like the disciples with hardness of heart. We must move from routine religious practices to authentic encounters with God.

Scripture Reference: Mark chapter 6, focusing on the stories of the feeding of the 5,000 (Mark 6:32-44) and Jesus walking on water (Mark 6:45-52).
