Christ Walks on the Water

This passage describes how Jesus withdrew from the crowd after feeding the five thousand, and how he later came to his disciples by walking on the water. It teaches us about the dangers of following Jesus for the wrong reasons, the humility of Christ, and his care for his disciples in times of trouble.

v. 15: Jesus noticed that the people wanted to make him king by force because they saw him as the promised prophet. Their excitement came from misunderstanding Jesus’ true mission. They wanted a king who could give them food easily and free them from Roman rule. But their zeal was not guided by the truth about Christ’s kingdom, which is not of this world (John 18:36 ^a). Jesus refused their plan, showing that he did not seek earthly power or honor. He left to avoid being made king against his will, reminding us not to seek honor or use religion for selfish gain (Romans 16:18 ^b).
