The Presence of Jesus

“But he said to them, ‘It is I.  Do not be afraid.’  They wanted to take him into the boat, but the boat immediately arrived at the shore to which they were heading.”  (John 6: 20 – 21)

As soon as the disciples discerned the presence of Jesus, they realized that they have arrived where a little while ago, they wondered if they would ever make it.  So it is in all our struggles in life.  When we become aware that Jesus is with us and for us, we know that all is well.  If Jesus is with us, the task is accomplished.
