“Thousands heard the message of Jesus and saw him perform miracles, but only hundreds followed.”

– John Mark Comer

Take Courage. It is I. Don’t be afraid. – Matthew 14:27

“A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic – on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg – or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.”

– CS Lewis

You of little faith, why did you doubt? – Matthew 14:31

Then those who were in the boat worshipped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

– Matthew 14:33

Humanity struggles with a short memory.

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.

– Matthew 14:35-36
