And when Jesus and Peter climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped Jesus, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God” (Matthew 14:32-33).
What started out as an outing for the purpose of getting some solitude and rest, as we learned from Mark 6:30-31, turned out to be yet another big adventure. There was more preaching and teaching and healing by Jesus. Then Jesus feed thousands of men, women, and children on a remote mountainside outside of Bethsaida, though He only had five loaves of bread and two fish. Then when the disciples were in a boat in the middle of night, hampered by wind, Jesus appeared to them, walking on the water.
The result: The apostles of Jesus worshiped Him.
Worship is due only the Almighty God. He is the creator of all things. He is the lover of all people. And Jesus is God, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, which is the reason we should worship Him.
2000 years ago, Jesus came into the world to make it possible for people to be united with the true God. Sin results in separation from God, which ultimately leads to spiritual death. Jesus made unification possible by dying on a cross as the sacrificial atonement for our sins. If you believe in Jesus as your Savior and Lord, you will have eternal life with the loving God for all eternity.
