While the disciples are at sea, a storm breaks out. Jesus our saviour, sees their turmoil from the mountain and resolves to walk through the storm to meet them. Considering Moses’s encounter with God, we see Christ giving a greater revelation of his divinity. Christ doesn’t leave them alone after his display, but bids Peter to come to him, and then rescues him when he fell. Jesus does the same for each of his saints.

Salvation is something God does in us; what we do is only a response to His work in us. Seeing how God reached Saul encourages us to believe that God can reach people in our lives who are very far from Him. Through our brokenness, God fills us and uses us.

We see many parallels between Elijah and John’s life, all leading to Christ. We see how King Herod tries to please both God’s prophet and his sin, only to be consumed by the latter. Do we hold our peccadillos along with God’s word?
