[Jesus] said to them, It is I; dont be afraid. Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading. — John 6:20-21 Thought Jesus comes to his disciples to comfort them in their worst nightmare - a storm on the sea. He literally tells them, I Am, do not be afraid. Two key things are here for us to notice. First, Jesus uses a name (I Am) that identifies himself with God who delivered Moses and the Israelites from Egypt. Second, he uses a surprisingly frequent command found throughout the Bible: Dont be afraid. When we are willing to invite Jesus into our lives during the middle of our storms and messes, he not only says, I Am, dont be afraid! but he also helps us find our way to our most important destination, ultimate deliverance
