Jesus' Ministry to the Impulsive
Revealing the Father Series, Part 4
Malcolm Webber
In Matthew 14, after watching Jesus feed the 5000, His followers were ready to make Him their King. But Jesus, rejecting this premature offer of power, commanded His disciples to cross the lake and then went up on the mountain where He watched them struggle against the storm for many hours before rescuing them. These are the ways of God. This is how He brings us to the end of our own agendas, our own strength, our own self-will. This is how He brings us to a deeper submission to His agenda.
