 JesusX30 Challenge—Scene 15: THE SURGE & THE SIFTING1. Key TextsMatthew 14:13–36—Feeding the 5,000, Walking on WaterMark 6:30–56—Feeding and Sea MiracleJohn 6:1–71—Bread of Life Discourse and Mass DefectionExodus 16—Manna in the WildernessJob 9:8—God “walks on the sea”Psalm 89:9–10—God rules the raging sea2. Outline / NotesDate & Place• Summer 28 AD, northeast side of the Sea of Galilee near Bethsaida-Julias.• Jesus and the Twelve retreat after John the Baptist’s death and their mission journey.Main AccountsA. The Feeding of the 5,000–Power and Expectation• The only miracle recorded in all four Gospels.• A crowd of thousands, hungry and exhausted, gather around Jesus.• The disciples urge him to send them away; Jesus replies, “You give them something to eat.”• To the people, this echoes Moses feeding Israel in the wilderness—God’s new Exodus seems to have begun.• The crowd tries to seize Jesus to make him king by force (Jn 6:15).• Jesus withdraws. He will not be crowned by popular demand.B. The Walking on the Water–Chaos and Confession• While Jesus prays, the disciples battle wind and waves through the night.• Around the fourth watch (3–6 a.m.), Jesus walks on the Sea toward them.• In the ancient world, the Sea symbolized chaos and death.• The Gospels use the same phrase as Job 9:8—God “walks on the sea as on dry land.”• Jesus speaks: “Take courage. I AM (egō eimi). Do not be afraid.”• Peter steps out and joins him but falters when fear takes over. Jesus lifts him up: “Why did you doubt?”• The storm ceases.• The disciples respond, “Truly, you are the Son of God.”• For the first time in Matthew, this confession comes from the disciples.C. The Bread of Life–The Sifting of the Crowd• The next day, the crowd tracks Jesus to Capernaum.• They want more bread, not more truth. Jesus exposes their motives: “You seek me because you ate your fill.”• Then he deepens the metaphor: “I am the Bread of Life.”• When he adds, “Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you have no life in you,” many turn away.• His teaching forces a decision—consumer faith or covenant faith.• The crowd leaves; Jesus asks the Twelve, “Do you also want to go?”• Peter answers: “Lord, where else would we go? You have the words of eternal life.”3. Main Point• Scene 15 is the hinge of Jesus’ Galilean campaign.• The crowds surge with excitement, but Jesus sifts them with truth.• He rejects worldly kingship, redefines divine power, and reveals his identity as the true Son of God—the one who walks upon chaos and gives life through himself.4. Exegetical Insight• Greek egō eimi (“I AM”) = divine self-revelation, echoing Exodus 3:14.• Peripatōn epi tēs thalassēs (“walking on the sea”) parallels LXX Job 9:8—Jesus enacting divine authority.• “Twelve baskets” (Mt 14:20) = symbolic fullness—provision for all Israel.• “Eat my flesh and drink my blood” = covenant language of participation.• The verb anebē (“he went up the mountain”) recalls Moses and Elijah—moments of divine encounter preceding revelation.5. Reflection Questions• What kind of king do you want Jesus to be?• When has following him challenged your assumptions about success or comfort?• Are you seeking him for what he gives—or for who he is?• What storms has he called you to step into, and what fears hold you back?6. Action Step / Challenge• Read John 6 this week—note the shift from excitement to disillusionment.• Identify one way you’ve been following Jesus for “bread” rather than transformation.• Pray for courage to trust him when the crowd walks away.• Reflect on Peter’s words: “Lord, where else would we go?”Buy the books!
