Reflections
“I Am”
Prior to
this passage, the disciples could not feed the crowd of over five thousand
people. Jesus could.
Now, the
disciples are in the boat by themselves, “being tossed about by the waves.” Jesus came, and “the wind died down.”
Jesus here
identifies himself, “It is I.” What Jesus
says in the Greek text can be translated into English as “I am.” It is the same expression God used at the
burning bush when Moses asked for God’s name in Exodus 3:14.
In the
Incarnation, Jesus, who is divine, is always with us.
I should
not cry out for Him only when things are tough, when I am in need, or when I am
“being tossed about by the waves” of life.
