1. It is I, don't be afraid (16-21)

The disciples left for Capernaum by boat but Jesus did not join them yet. They rowed the boat to go and take a good rest after feeding 5,000 with much work. But the strong wind blew against them and the water grew rough. They were in great danger in the middle of the lake near midnight with no Jesus with them. The good shepherd Jesus came walking on the water not to scare but to care for them. But the disciples were frightened still not realizing Jesus' motherly caring love! Jesus comforted them saying, "It is I! Don't be afraid!" Then the boat reached quickly to their destination. Praise Jesus!

2. To believe in Jesus is the work of God (22-29)

Now the crowd looked for Jesus desperately and hot pursed him until they found him. Their joy was great! But Jesus saw them not searching for him but for the benefit he provides. He said, "Do not work for the food that spoils but for the food that lasts for eternal life." When they asked what they must do to do the work of God, Jesus answered, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."
