GOSPEL READING: JOHN 6:16-21
As Jesus went up the mountain the disciples moved into the boat. Disciples had a journey to make. They had to reach Capernaum. It is quite a long distance. They journey was difficult because of the wind. Also Jesus was not with them. They were disciples of Jesus and now they were making their journey without their master.
Master comes towards the boat. He could have reached without coming near the boat or without showing himself to them. Jesus’ supportive and assuring presence was needed for them on their journey. His physical presence in the boat was not necessary. But the knowledge that he is beside them on their journey will bring them safe and immediately to the shore.
இயேசுவின் சீடர்கள் படகில் தனித்து பயணித்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள். பயணம் கடினமானதுதான். இயேசு அவர்களோடு இல்லை என்றாலும் அவரது துணை இருக்கிறது என்ற நம்பிக்கை அவர்களை கரைசேர்க்கிறது.
