Little Things

John 6:16-21 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew. 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. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

In all this the word immediately stood out. They had labored in the storm and immediately, as soon as they received Jesus, their labors were over and they were delivered.

It seems to be such a little thing but it points to the big picture about our struggles in this life and what receiving Jesus into our hearts accomplishes for us.

We are immediately delivered. As a song says, “I’m already there.” To the lost in will be meaningless drabble but if you are saved, you understand.

This is a miracle you can only see for yourself. You can talk about it until you are blue in the face but they will never truly understand until they themselves are delivered.

Luke 10:10-11 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

I’m already there.
