Do You Know WHY Jesus Walked on Water? The Mark Series part 22
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- One of the most important things in the Gospel of Mark is the identity of Jesus. But many people don't realize that Mark is telling who Jesus is through the stories about what Jesus did. When we look at the text carefully we can see one amazing revelation after another revealing the "high Christology" of the gospel of Mark. In other words, the skeptics who sometimes claim Mark has a low view of the person of Christ are completely mistaken. In the passage we are in today (6:45-56) we will see that Jesus' walking on water has an interesting connection to the book of Job and, once again, is best explained by connecting the person of Christ to God Himself. I'll also tackle some challenges to the accuracy of the Gospel of Mark when he talks about the journey's of the disciples across the Sea of Galilee.

*“God seems more committed to my character than my comfort” WOW!!! amen and thank you Holy Ghost.*
I hate that statement.
But… it’s true, so we have to accept and submit to whatever He wants to do in our life.
Powerful quote isn’t it?
Fake news
Comfort will come when our character is right. There will always be a new storm. Not the same storm, Amen, because we can have eternal victory forever in Christ.
Very mature, well-spoken pastor with true Shepard's heart. I feel fed when I listen here and so far. I FEEL SAFE. (DOCTRINE WISE.)
I realize that the numbers don't matter, but over half a million people have heard this message from you and I can't imagine how many of those God has blessed through you. May God continue to guide you to reach people.
When you said "maybe stop the video now and pray for 10 mintes if you're watching online" I did because I knew I was lacking prayer - thank you, it really did rejuvenate my soul to focus on God.
'David, I need you to make really bad music' 🤭😆 I appreciate your teaching style greatly. Truth, without all the puffed upness, the 'yelling key points while repeating them 5xs. Just straight from God's words with humility and a gentle spirit. I'm learning so much and truly funding my hunger to go deeper, to understand more of who God is rather than how in my younger years I'd search to find me in the Bible or look for direct answers if I'm making sense. I can definitely know in my spirit that God lead me here and the spirit of our Lord is with this pastor. Thank you over and over again 🙏
Same here!
Read Job 9:8 in the Old Testament: He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea.

You are an awesome humble teacher Mr. Winger. Praise the Lord Jesus for you and this ministry.
I live in pain. Most people don't get what that means. You will suffer, there are trials, be prepared. It is really the only salve.
God Bless you.
mackdmara yeah, only you know about pain. 😒 You’re an idiot
@@amyrenee1361 did nothing for anyone...except mark people who turn to Him with the Holy Spirit. So at the end he will perfect them completely through his sacrifice. Then they will be with God forever, without blemish. Evil runs rampant on earth because people sin and continue to reject God. Without God there is nothing. Christians turn to Jesus minute by minute until they die. Evil is the fault of man rejecting God. Jesus promises to cleanse us and set us free if we believe on Him.
I wanted to know how But now I’m studying why, ok let’s go!
Wow. The part on trusting is so timely. Our car just broke and I just realized I need to trust God and be at peace and not stress about it.
Having the KNOWLEDGE that God is with me and that transcends my feelings…. Nailed it! Our feelings are like the clouds in the sky…. Having knowledge… that’s grounding … solid Earth truth
Thank you Mike for shining Jesus into our lives. Thank You Jaweh, that you bless us more than we can ask or think; pour rich blessings onto Mike that he may shine our Saviour more and more•••
You’ve become one of favorite channels to watch. Thanks for the messages.
I am grateful for the teaching, thank you
Our ignorance is what does us in. These things have been viewed on such a surface level, when there is so much more to it. Wow! The majesty of God, the wonder of how Jesus revealed Himself when He walked among mankind. God is magnificent! Thanks again for digging this out!
A revelation of the Person of Jesus Christ.... what a thought for my day.

@@rightdoctrine3922 Are you one of Jehovah's Witnesses?
@@rightdoctrine3922 Blessings on you and all you love... thanks for your interest and concern.
Mike, thank you SO much for the study you do to bring forth what is going on in scripture that we would otherwise miss. God bless you for it. I was moved to tears and a place of deeply felt love for the One who does not pass by but gets into the boat with us, with me. Praise His Holy Name. On a much lighter note, it was a shock at first when I opened the video to see someone in a short-sleeved shirt as where I live it is snowy winter! Looking forward to the next installment of Mark.
@ Joseph Beckmann Thank you. God bless you as well.
I've supposed walking on water to be no more unnatural than the surface tension that prevents falling through the floor or anything else supposedly supportive. I reasoned that the creator of the universe could easily change the surface tension of water so it could be walked on. This thinking doesn't negate His divinity, but I'm glad for Mike's emphasis on Mark promoting the divinity of our Lord! Also PRAYER! I paused the tape and prayed! Thank you, Mike!
Thank you Mike!! Your teachings and expositions of scripture are so encouraging and precious! As in valuable. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us! And now He has given to us the Holy Spirit and we still have Emmanuel!! It is also significant that you said we are not just a little different from the world, we have a completely different worldview. In my life there are times that I forget that, but then sometimes I have an encounter that highlights that fact. As has been happening in my life quite frequently recently. It was like, whoa, you see completely differently from me don't you?
God gives us eyes to see restoring the sight of the blind! Hallelujah.
It is also significant that a blind person even in the presence of light can't see. It is not that God is not with us, but that the world is blind even in the presence of the true Light of God.
May we soften our hearts before God and believe Him in a faithful trust that He is good and He is enough. That prayer time alone was of great benefit to me.
Thank you for encouraging that, saying to pause the video.
Prayer and fasting is the very thing that softens our hearts to hear and see God.
Jesus teaches this to his disciples after casting out the demons from the son with the palsey casting into the fire and the water.
So thank you Mike!! May we soften our hearts before Him, getting alone with Him, honoring Him for who He is daily! He is worthy of it all!
God gave Jesus the power to walk on the water and to show his disciples that they had to have faith to trust in him and God.
Jesus is God
Thank you for your input and opening scripture in ways I have not yet experienced.
By far my favorite videos are the Christologys from the old testament, the beneficiarys of the most famous bible study in history (on the road to ammeas) are the authors of the new testament, people often ignore the old testament out of confusion, the disciples taught jesus from the scripture they had and knew, not the new testament. Thank you for this content, I'm just starting my journey with biblical faith, don't have a church family at this time, I love your heart for this stuff.
God Bless you, enjoy your journey by the leading of the Holy Spirit
I’ve been waiting for this video! 😇
You need a normal order of things in order to know when God is acting… BRILLIANT!! I knew this concept, but I absolutely love the way you worded it, Pastor Mike! That is better than my standard, “If God created all of this and made the natural laws, he would also have the power to break them in any way he chooses.”
At the 20 minute mark you hit a topic that has been on my heart for a while. When we appeal to the masses, we've stepped into a strange identity. Oeople who want to be fed stick around. I've seen a pandering to our culture at large that demonizes people of faith because they are "judgmental" and not free flowing like the culture. Thank you for validating the wrongness of this. I truly felt there was something wrong with me until I heard you say what's been on my heart.
thank you for your faithful research and ministry.
I never even THOUGHT about that question before! I just ASSUMED he walked on water, out of CONVENIENCE... Seriously! I just figured it was more convenient for him, than simply waiting around, for a boat ride... Now I'm really curious about what YOU think the reason was. I sure look forward to watching THIS video Mike!
If you try literally walking on the surface of a lake, you'll discover that it's very inconvenient. Besides which, according to Luke-Acts Jesus could just kinda fly around and appear and disappear anyplace he wanted, which is a helluvalot more convenient than riding in a boat in bad weather and trekking the Jerico road, etc. But the author of Luke-Acts may have been kinda confused about that matter, since the other Gospel authors report nothing of that sort. Gee,if a thing like that were true, EVERYONE would have been talking about it and asking for demos and writing about it.
@David Johnson Lame. You of little faith.
@@servantofmessiah1071 My faith is not in superstitions, so thank you for recognizing that fact.
What's more.... hmmm..... Are you knowledgeable in the Bible, especially the New Testament and especially the Pauline epistles? If so, we could probably have an interesting conversation.
Lol. Precious. Chuckle. Convenience. You are so cute.
With God, nothing happens by what we call "chance." Everything that happened that day was ORCHESTRATED by Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God created a way through the sea. Jesus is the way.
Very Good video God bless you amen MOG

Excellent Bible teacher
Thank you so much for teaching this series.
Beautiful. Got a good dose of Christology there. Brought me to my knees in worship.
I have a very active relationship with God (specifically when it comes to prayer and study), but I struggle immensely with attending church due to the fact that I have major social anxiety, and am usually in a state of near panic when I have to be around other people. Another complicating factor is that I'm nocturnal, so it's difficult to find a church service that takes place when I'm not asleep...
Look up the DARE approach to anxiety. Fear is a liar. The only way out of it is through it.
@@inchristalone25
A Therapist who specializes in this is essential.
I don't have anxiety to this degree but I do not like to be in a Church setting either.
I obey the Word of the Lord which Commands us to not forsake the gathering of the Saints.
I also don't like singing and standing and sitting upon command but I do it out of obedience.
Not a Judgement, because again, I don't get anxiety to that level, just my personal story.
Love the job connection, as a mormon I had no idea, the English translations can be misleading on the nature of Jesus's identity, the more I learn in the old testament the more things I recognize as significant. He is doing things that would make sense to people that know their scriptures, on his own authority which is important.
Danvan2 Ruth Are you really mormon? If so, would love for you to comment on Mike’s love of the Bible, because I hope you’re learning some really fantastic and wonderful things! God bless!
Now if you can only realize he’s not satans brother but rather his creator as Christ created all things. And you know I really would just like to leave y’all to your deception that your in being morman and hope God will just understand that you really didn’t mean to be deceived by Joseph smith but what if he’s going to hold us all accountable to recognize the truth of Christ to be saved in him. I don’t know. I think I’d rather be safe than sorry and make sure that I don’t presuppose I have the truth about Christ but really do my homework and find out if I’ve learned him the way He wants us to learn him.

Mike, in addition to Jesus doing a great work in your life, I suspect Jesus used your Mom and Dad effectively.
You're a blessing !! Thank you for your obedience and humility.
The disciples obediently crossed the water, despite probably being aware of an incoming storm. It's funny to think how they still didn't realize what kind of person Jesus was when they acted in faith. Like, they definitely didn't realize Jesus would eventually be somehow walking beside them during the storm. Sometimes in my life Jesus will do things I don't expect. It's kind of what makes him alive, his unpredictability. This is a being that is interacting back to me, in response of what I do. I love the "wow I didn't expect that" feeling of pursuing God. It feels like I'm engaged with something that is alive and thinks independently.
simple That is how Jesus rolls and he is just cool
Yeah I think he’s holy too or something like that. Dude he’s Almighty God and he’s not just cool he’s the source of it. Let’s give him the reverence due. You know like the Apostles and the prophets did and do. You know those cats of the holy word of God. Sorry for busting on you but these are perilous times and people want to make Christ into a super star of this world but don’t understand he created the star’s and everything else.
@@yknot1685 We sometimes overcorrect, when no correction is due. He is God and also Man at the same time he can cool and holy at the same time. he can cook fish and laugh with his friends the disciples and he is the one with hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eye were as a flame of fire . both can be true and are true this is without contradiction
Yes thank you. And you are right about over correcting. You’ve helped me grow a little more and thanks for being kinder than I.
@@rightdoctrine3922 I am guessing from what you wrote you do not believe Jesus was God? Right
@@rightdoctrine3922 Well, you did put together number ideas however I do not think they necessarily support your conclusions. But not actually answering the question I going to make the assumption that you do not believe Jesus is God. Just to be clear I do believe in Jesus and I believe He is the one true and only God
"And now my heart is perfect and pure in every way" -- Mike Winger. So glad the lightening didn't turn you to charcoal on the spot, because I very much appreciate your messages. High point for me in this one is when you tied Jesus' walking on the water to God, in Job, proclaiming that he is the one who walks on the water.
He walked on water to show he was the same spirt of God that hovered over the face of the deep during creation....
That was the holy spirit not the word of God.
What's the name of the holy spirit again??...we have God who is Yahweh or Jehovah, then we have His son Jesus, who is called Yeshua. God gave every soul a name. Tell me some quotes of the holy spirit, what's he famous for saying? We have quotes from God and Jesus. 1 Timothy 2:5 "There is One God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."
Jesus Shaves
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them - Acts 13:2
And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me (Acts 20:22,23).

Tell us more about your theology
🔹️The reason why Christ walked on water, He was fulfilling all the things that was written of him in the law of moses and the prophets and psalms concerning Him which He said MUST be fulfilled.
🔸️Luke 24:44 KJV - And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
🔹️The time He walked on the sea and even when He spoke to the sea, these prophecies were written in the psalms & prophets.
🔸️Job 9:8 KJV - Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
🔸️Psalm 93:4 KJV - The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
🔸️Psalm 89:9 KJV - Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
🔸️Psalm 29:10 KJV - The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.
Jesus walked on water to get to the other side of the zodiac.
He walked on water to demonstrate he is the same spirt that hovered over the face of the deep.... the disciples would have recognized that.
You are absolutely correct. Nice presentation on your answer.
Yes many people don’t recognize that. This is true in so many ways when he said Mathew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” I did a study on this passage and found out so many things about Jesus’s life, death and resurrection were detailed all the way in the Old Testament laws. It would blow you mind.
Correct, you are sharp
Be careful about assuming a hardship is a trial meant to test your faith. Very *very* few people have faith worthy of being tested, and until they do God uses hardships to discipline those he loves. If you’re being disciplined to stop doing something you shouldn’t be doing, or to start doing something you should be doing, and you instead just go on as usual assuming it’s a “trial” rather than discipline, you’re just asking for more discipline. If we judge ourselves properly God doesn’t have to judge us and we can avoid hardships. Being trained by this produces righteousness and peace, and prepares you for eventually being tested.
Interesting comment. I've never heard it put that way but always wondered what is the difference between discipline and testing. Thanks!
Thank you so very much 😊🙏!
Hi, I'm so thankful for bible thinkers. I'm really learning a lot and I find joy in leaning about who Jesus is.( JOY ) Jesus, others, you. I'm using that to teach the kids in the youth group. Just so I don't take the credit for ( JOY) I tell the ladies that i work with that I learned that from you. lol
What a blessing!!! Loved the exposition.
Love it every time :😍😄😍😍😍😄
"These things aren't necessarily evil" yes but our hearts are & sometimes we will find anything to distract ourselves. Just like food can't defile, what's in side us does, we make good things bad by our sinful nature.
Edit: I phrased this weird lol I agree with Mike
i love this one. so great.
So many nuggets of wisdom in this
That SpongeBob example made me lol at work, and that was such a good illustration. I will absolutely be using that in the future when talking about miracles 😂
I'd like to here more on this "time to sleep" you speak of. Specifically when and how long I can sleep...
😂😂😂 me too
Hear*
Regarding John 6, and speaking hard words that "shrunk" his following, I've always felt that Jesus intentionally put people in a position where they had to make a choice: Do I abandon Jesus the first time I can't make sense of him, or do I choose to love him and follow him, even if I don't understanding everything?
The comparison between God passing Job and not being seen, and Jesus intending to pass by to be seen, and the walking on water in Job being the same in Greek as here in Mark…🤯😭😍

Wow!!! I’m so happy to learn that! Jesus is God! Hallelujah!!! Thank you Mike! Thank you M Warren!
I love the thought that Jesus walked by on the water to reveal them who he really is. But they still don’t get it.
Similar to these verses: „He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed.“
Psalms 107:29 ESV
And: „And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.“
Mark 4:39 ESV
How Jesus must have thought ‚know your scriptures, men!‘ no wonder he got angry that they still didn’t recognize their creator.
„He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"“
Mark 4:40 ESV
I have a long list with verses in the NT that reveal Jesus to represent YHWH of the OT. But this one was new, I really appreciate it.
350 in my list :)
Yes, God manipulates nature. As in he USES it. People try to disprove God with science, but fail to realize science and the Bible go hand in hand. And the more we learn and discover, the more we see that to be true.
I absolutely agree with you, brother.
@@jonathant.6382 you ever seen something called the exodus decoded? It basically gives the scientific explanation of what happened. YHWH basically used a volcanic eruption close by to rain hell on Egypt until they freed his people. It’s pretty cool.
It baffles me why people disliked this study.
I really don't understand.
Mike, it's GREAT that you brought up the ego eimi statement in Mrk6:50 (at 49:42)
I've always thought it strange that essentially ALL of our English versions translate that ἐγώ εἰμι as "it is I" , even many of the literal translations like Young's don't translate it as a straight "I am," but supply other words. But then these same bibles all consistently translate John's usage of the same Greek as "I am." As well as Mrk14:62... Jesus' answer to Pilate is also rendered by most English versions, "I am."
Kinda cool... all of the traditional Spanish Bibles, (Osos, SE, RV1909, RV1960, etc), render Mrk6:50 & Mat14:27 as YO SOY.
Genesis 1:2 "The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters." NASB
And Bible-thumping preachers make an absolute mockery of the greatest story of origins to have come from the ancient world.
@messiahjesusbible dot com At one time I was planning to do that on his behalf, but it would have taken a lot of work and in the end, nobody would like it anyhow. The people of his day, when they realized he was not what they wanted, got really pissed. 2,000 years later people want the same things.

In case someone doesn't know "ego eimi" (ἐγώ εἰμι) is God's response to Moses' question, "what will I say is your name" in Exodus 3:14, so when Jesus refers to Himself as ἐγώ εἰμι, He is calling Himself God and in John 8:24 He says "if you believe not that ἐγώ εἰμι, you will die in your sin!"
Want to get closer to God and understand His word?? ..It helps me to pray Psalm 119!
The gospel of Mark is the action adventure story of the for biographies of Jesus of Nazareth. Mark focuses on the action. What is going on. He takes Peter's accounts of Jesus of Nazareth and puts them into an action adventure story for his readers.
While Peter was a disciple of Jesus before the crucifixion, he was a loudmouth man of action. it makes sense that his recollection would focus on the action events describing and exemplifying who Jesus is, God in the flesh.
Congrats on 100k subs!
Haven't watched the video yet, but very basically, I would say to show his control over the creation he created. To show that he is beyond his creation and can manipulate it as his Father sees fit for him to. Everything the Father does, he does also.
I haven't yet watched the video EITHER. But when I read your comment, it sure seemed, to ME, to be spot on! I hadn't ever really thought there even WAS a specific reason why he walked on water... other than out of mere CONVENIENCE. Seriously! Now I'm sure looking forward to hearing MIKE'S thought on this!
Luke 24:45 HE opened their understanding.
The Bible does not stop the pounding waves of life, it teaches us to ride them.
Please God don't use SpongeBob SquarePants to make a miracle. 🙈🤣
Thanks for the awesome series, Mike! 🙌
Every single miracle made by Yeshua was telling to jews, now to us, WHO HE IS.
Just like in the Old Covenant, we see Him on eternity, being called "the father", showing to the Jews WHO HE IS, to be recognized there and to be recognized here on Earth.
He was called the father? I thought he was known as "I Am".
Jesus is NOT the Father. Stupid modalist!
@@justchilling704 - Try to read The Bible and to learn a lot of Hebrew.
It will help a lot!
The use of "father" referring to The Creator was generic, true but generic, meaning THE CREATOR of all things and all human beings...
...look: Dt 32:6
; 2Sm 7:14; 1Cr 28:6; Sl 68:5; Sl 89:26; Sl 103:13; Is 63:16; Is 64:8; Jr 3:4; Jr 3:19; Jr 31:9;
Ex 4:22, the father of Israel (generic).
Here the difference between the generic and the second stage of the salvific process: At 13:33 and Hb 1:5
Now to us: Rm 8:15
There's a huge difference between our "occidental way of thinking" and the way a Hebrew used to understand things.
That's not just the writing direction (right to left).
For example, the future is ahead and the past is behind us, right?
NOOO, the Hebrew understands that the future is behind and the past is in front of us because we can see what we did in the past, so this is right in front of our eyes. And the future, of course, is behind us because we can't see it.
In the same pattern, when you call some "son of somebody" you may be calling that person "the same as somebody" (where "somebody" is the name of someone else). That's because of they understand that you are a continuation of your carnal father because you got out of him - so you are "your father 2.0 version" (just to help you figure out).
And that's the main revelation in Mt 16:16.
And only those that understood that could truly follow Christ ("the man" Jesus is called Christ just like he is called "the lamb of The Creator" because he was made to die for us). And that WHY we see many interpolating references to The Creator and Jesus through all the epistles...
Why did Jesus walk on water? To get to the other side.
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 3:23
Jesus lives
Jesus Christ is Lord
Jesus loves you repent
You're a sinner in need of a Savior
I think the simpler answer for why Jesus made the disciples get in the boat can be found at 35:30 in your explanation. They were fishermen and knew it was a bad idea from a sailing perspective.
@mikewinger what do you think about the series on the gospels called “the chosen”? Or the idea of bible theatrics in general?
Possible video idea that you’ve probably already considered
About the mirage theory: Is it sensible that about 12 men see the same thing at the same time at the same place and hear the same thing? Because that's my counter argument before knowing the science/physics.
John 5:36 36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
Because it's an impossible feat? Why does there need to be some huge explanation? So many scholars are so quick to create some grand and fabulous meaning when the answer is LITERALLY right in front you.
GOD does not require a Ph.D to know Him.
I thought I was the only person to wonder this lol, never heard anyone talk about it before
The fact is that there are wars and natural disasters, tornados, earthquakes, fires, etc. there were examples where cities were decimated and rather than rebuild on the same sight, the peoples would rebuild adjacent. That was another theory about Bethsaida.
simply put... as a testimony to prove that Jesus....IS.... God in the flesh.
Mike I would love to have copies of all your notes from each sermon...
Congrats on topping 100,000.
It would be great if you could put the scriptures up on the screen! We see most teachers provide the scriptures on the screen! I do believe many are watching your teaching without their bible? They could be on their lunch break, etc;….I usually take a photo of the scriptures shown. A consideration, Thank you so much.
BECAUSE Jesus is GOD alone, there is no ONE with him and no ONE BESIDES him. NO trinity but ONE LORD.
Madi Lee Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God.
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”
Colossians 1:15-17 NKJV
The firstborn over all creation. He is the word of God, the very expression of the father for all creation.
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”
John 1:1-4 NKJV
The Father is the one true God whilst Christ is His Son swelling in Equal authority at the right hand of the Father.
“But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.””
Hebrews 1:8-9 NKJV
Moving on,
“And: “You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.””
Hebrews 1:10-12 NKJV
The Father exalted the Son to the throne and the father is in Christ as well as the Christ is in the father.
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,”
Philippians 2:9 NKJV
This name/title can be assumed to be the title of GOD. I say title because you cannot inherit a name in the way scripture describes it.
“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”
John 14:10-11 NKJV
And finally to lay out an understanding:
““Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.”
Isaiah 44:6 NKJV
(King of Israel=Jesus, LORD of Hosts aka his redeemer=The Father)
Is harmonious to:
““I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.””
Revelation 1:8 NKJV
When taking the scripture of The Father being in the Christ literal it makes a bit more sense. The Father emanates through the Son.
My point is to don’t discredit the Father, the one who exalted him to the throne. They are both God but are in unity with authority and command.
What of the verses in the Bible that say that the Father and the Holy Spirit are different people. Can you do that without a whole lot of cherry picking and ignoring verses?
@@waynehampson9569 Which ones?
@@carbon273 Jesus is called "Son of God" because he was born of a woman, to fulfill the law and prophets. This further reveals God's humility and love for us. There is only ONE God, there is no "preexistent Son". As Madi Lee says, no trinity but One God.
Jesus existed before the Universe existed, Son of God is more than just being human. John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. AND before Abraham was born 58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Amen
Only way to repent and be saved by Christ act 11:14-18, Luke 11:9-13 Just follow the original Gospel tradition of Christ teaching not churches but Jesus will guide you personally to the end John 10:1-6!
Was he a good model for compassion fatigue? I wonder because he went away to be with the disciples after their 'ministry tour' and had compassion and kept working and teaching.
The spirit of the Lord was hovering over the water. Probably not a direct reference but that's what I thought of
The bread is Virgo (Beth Lehem) and the two fishies are Pisces (Beth Saida). Beth Saida (down here) is also Sidon Lebanon where the purple dye was harvested. Grassy field = spring season.
What nonsense .what does the gospelwriters say
@@ptk8451
I suppose you don't even know that Jesus married his mother and became father and son.
Sponge Bob! Ahhh!
Yeah, wierd stuff happens all the time. Great point Mike
Genesis
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Because he could.
