Welcome dear Brethren to a post that will change your perspective on how you view the power and authority of Jesus over the waters. The Bible is filled with instances where God demonstrated His power by parting the waters, and in the New Testament, Jesus demonstrated His power by controlling the waters. Let us dive in and explore this further.
In the Old Testament, we see that God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites to pass through safely on dry land (Exodus 14:21-22). Additionally, God parted the Jordan River so that the Israelites could enter the Promised Land (Joshua 3:14-17). These powerful acts demonstrate God's ability to intervene in our lives and provide a way for us to overcome any obstacle that we may face.
In the New Testament, we see that Jesus has control over the waters in a different way. He is recorded as walking on water, calming storms, turning water into wine, and healing people by the waters of the pool of Bethesda (Matthew 14:22-33, Mark 4:35-41, John 2:1-11, John 5:1-15). These events demonstrate Jesus' power to transform, heal, and bring new life, as well as his ability to control the natural elements.
But what about in our lives today? We may not need the Red Sea to be parted, but we do face trials and challenges that can feel like we are drowning in deep waters. The good news is that Jesus is in control over the waters in our lives today. He has the power and authority to calm the storms that rage around us, to bring healing to our wounds, and to provide a way for us to overcome any obstacle that we may face.
Just as God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites and Jesus calmed the storm for His disciples, He can calm the storms in your life today. He can provide a way where there seems to be no way. All we need to do is trust in Him and His power.
In conclusion, God is able to do all things, and He sent His son to demonstrate His power and authority over the waters. Let us take comfort in the fact that Jesus is in control over the waters in our lives today. All we need to do is trust in Him and allow Him to guide us through the deep waters of life.
We invite you to share your thoughts in the comments below and take a moment to reflect on the power and authority of Jesus in your life.
