TEXT:
John
6:16-21

16 And
when
even was
now
come,

his
disciples
went
down

unto the
sea,
17 And
entered

into a
ship, and
went
over the
sea

toward
Caperna
um. And
it was
now

dark, and
Jesus
was not
come to
them.

18 And
the sea
arose by
reason of

a great
wind that
blew.

19 So
when
they had
rowed
about

five and
twenty or
thirty
furlongs,
they see

Jesus
walking
on the
sea, and
drawing

nigh unto
the ship:
and they
were
afraid.

20 But he
saith
unto
them, It

is I; be
not
afraid.

21 Then
they
willingly
received
him into

the ship:
and
immediat
ely the
ship was

at the
land
whither
they
went.

---------Today, I
am
continuin

g the
daily Just

Evangelis

Campaig
n sermon
series,
which is
aimed at

sharing
the
Gospel of
the Lord
Jesus

Christ
with
unbelieve
rs and
remindin

g
Christian
s, in this
important
election

year, to
keep the
main
thing the
main

thing -and that

is
reaching
unbelieve

rs with
the
Gospel of
the Lord
Jesus

Christ
and
praying
for their
salvation,

for the
problem
in
America
is not

only
disobedie
nt
president
s,

politician
s, and
people,
but
disobedie

nt
pastors,
preacher
s, and
parishion

ers who
have
refused
to obey
the

Lords
Great
Commiss
ion which
is to, Go

ye into all
the
world,
and
preach

the
gospel to
every
creature.
and

who have
refused
to obey
God's
repeated

comman
ds to
"pray
without
ceasing"

for
unbelieve
rs,
believers,
and

political
leaders.
Yes, you
should
pray for

the right
candidate
to win;
yes, you
should

vote for
the
candidate
that the
Lord

gives you
peace
about
voting
for. But,

don't get
caught
up in it
like the
world

does.
Nothing
much is
going to
change

until
people
get saved
and get
their

hearts
right with
the Lord.

This
campaign
is
inspired
by the

following
three
verses: 1
Corinthia
ns 2:2

which
says,
"For I
determin
ed not to

know
anything
among
you, save
Jesus

Christ,
and him
crucified.
" Acts
5:42

which
says,
"And
daily in
the

temple,
and in
every
house,
they

ceased
not to
teach and
preach
Jesus

Christ."
And 2
Timothy
2:4 which
says, "No

man that
warreth
entanglet
h himself
with the

affairs of
this life;
that he
may
please

him who
hath
chosen
him to be

a
soldier."
This
series is

not for
Christian
s
necessari
ly.

However,
I do hope
you are
one of
those

saints
who still
loves to
hear the
"Old, old

story of
Jesus
and His
love" -As

another
hymn
says,
"For
those

who
know it
best
Seem
hungerin

g and
thirsting
to hear it
like the
rest."

This
series is
primarily
for
unbelieve

rs, so
they can
hear and
understa
nd the

Gospel
and be
saved
from sin
and the

punishm
ent of sin
which is
hell. This
is

message
number
70.

Ray
Stedman
said,
"What
Jesus is

saying to
the
disciples,
as he is
saying to

us as
well, is,
'That
which
frightens

you, that
very
thing
which
scares

you, is
me. I am
coming
to you in
and

through
that
circumst
ance, so
you do

not need
to be
afraid. I
am in
charge of

it. I have
chosen it
for you,
therefore
you do

not need
to be
afraid.'"

As we
look at
this story
once
again, it

seems so
familiar
that we
might
miss a

few
important
details.

First, the
disciples
had to
choose
to believe

and obey
Jesus
when He
told
them, "be

not
afraid" -literally,
"Stop
being

afraid."
Fear is
one of
the most
basic

human
emotions
. We are
taught
from an

early age
to be
afraid of
things
that

could
harm us.
Many are
taught to
fear

things
that they
are not
used to.
Some

fear
change.
Some
fear
difficulty.

Some
fear
challenge
s in life.
But the

Bible
tells us
that "God
hath not
given us

a spirit of
fear."
Thus,
Jesus
tells His

disciples,
"Be not
afraid."

Knowing
that
Jesus is
walking
on the

waves
puts a
flame of
confiden
ce back

in the
hearts of
the
disciples.
Scholars

say that
this is the
occasion
upon
which

Peter
asked
Jesus to
let him
walk on

the water,
and he
did.

The
disciples
have laid
aside
their fear

now that
Jesus is
with
them.
The text

says,
"Then
they
willingly
received

him into
the ship."
This
implies
some

initiating
action on
the part
of the
disciples.

Jesus
would
not board
the ship
unless

the
disciples
recognize
d that it
was not a

ghost,
but
Jesus,
coming
to them

and
calming
their
fears.

We are
reminded
here of
how
Jesus

works
across
the
board. He
does not

shove
His way
into our
hearts
and lives;

He waits
to be
invited in.
In
Revelatio

n, John
spoke of
him as
standing
at the

door
knocking,
waiting
for the
door to

be
opened.
Only
those
who

really
want
Jesus to
be with
them will

receive
Him.
Then, we
see

another
miracle
that takes
place in
this

passage.
The Bible
reads,
"And
immediat

ely the
ship was
at the
land
whither

they
went."
Rememb
er, when
Jesus

came to
the ship,
it was
stalled in
the

middle of
the Sea
of
Galilee,
barely

making
any
headway.
However,
John

writes
that as
soon as
Jesus got
on the

boat, the
ship was
at its
destinati
on on the

opposite
shore.
This was
a miracle
in itself. It

happene
d so
quickly
and
quietly

that
some of
the
disciples
probably

didn't
notice it
until after
it

happene
d.
Jesus
allowed

the
disciples
to go
through
this

storm to
show
them that
He was
always

with them
and that
they did
not have
to be

afraid
because
He would
see them
through

to the
end of
whatever
situation

they
faced.
You are
likely

going
through a
stormy
time in
your life

right
now. (If
you are
not, you
will in the

future.)
You will
face
situation
s that

cause
you to be
afraid
and to
doubt.

But you
can walk
through
those
circumst

ances
fearless
and
confident
if you

have
Jesus in
your
heart and
by your

side. If
you want
to receive
Jesus
Christ as

your
Savior
today,
here is
how.

1. Accept
the fact
that you
are a

sinner,
and that
you have
broken
God's

law. The
Bible
says in
Ecclesias
tes 7:20:

"For
there is
not a just
man
upon

earth that
doeth
good,
and
sinneth

not."
Romans
3:23
reads:
"For all

have
sinned
and come
short of
the glory

of God."
In fact, I
am the
chief of
sinners,

so don't
think that
you're
alone.

2. Accept
the fact
that there
is a
penalty

for sin.
The Bible
states in
Romans
6:23:

"For the
wages of
sin is
death"

3. Accept
the fact
that you
are on
the road

to hell.
Jesus
Christ
said in
Matthew

10:28:
"And fear
not them
which kill
the body,

but are
not able
to kill the
soul: but
rather

fear him
which is
able to
destroy
both soul

and body
in hell."
The Bible
says in
Revelatio

n 21:8:
"But the
fearful,
and
unbelievi

ng, and
the
abomina
ble, and
murderer

s, and
whoremo
ngers
and
sorcerers

, and
idolaters,
and all
liars,
shall

have
their part
in the
lake
which

burneth
with fire
and
brimston
e: which

is the
second
death."

4. Accept
the fact
that you
cannot
do

anything
to save
yourself!
The Bible
states in

Ephesian
s 2: 8, 9:
"For by
grace are
ye saved

through
faith: and
that not
of
yourselve

s: it is a
gift of
God. Not
of works,
lest any

man
should
boast."

5. Accept
the fact
that God
loves you
more

than you
love
yourself,
and that
He wants

to save
you from
hell.
Jesus
Christ

said in
John
3:16, "For
God so
loved the

world,
that He
gave His
only
begotten

Son, that
whosoev
er
believeth
in Him

should
not
perish,
but have

everlastin
g life."
6. With
these

facts in
mind,
please
repent of
your

sins,
believe
on the
Lord
Jesus

Christ
and pray
and ask
Him to
come

into your
heart and
save you
this very
moment.

The Bible
states in
the book
of
Romans

10:9, 13:
"That if
thou
shalt
confess

with thy
mouth
the Lord
Jesus,
and shalt

believe in
thine
heart that
God hath
raised

Him from
the dead,
thou
shalt be
saved."

"For
whosoev
er shall
call upon
the name

of the
Lord
shall be
saved."

Dear
friend, if
you are
willing to
believe

on the
Lord
Jesus
Christ for
salvation,

please
pray with
me this
simple
prayer:

Heavenly
Father, I
realize
that I am
a sinner

and that I
have
done
some bad
things in

my life.
For
Jesus
Christ
sake,

please
forgive
me of my
sins. I
now

believe
with all of
my heart
that
Jesus

Christ
died for
me, was
buried,
and rose

again.
Lord
Jesus,
please
come

into my
heart and
save my
soul and
change

my life
today.
Amen.

If you
believed
in your
heart that
Jesus

Christ
died on
the
cross,
was

buried,
and rose
again,
allow me
to say,

congratul
ations on
doing the
most
important

thing in
life and
that is
accepting
Jesus

Christ as
your Lord
and
Saviour!
