REACHING CAPERNAUM
(John 6:15-21)
"Apprehending that for which we were apprehended" (See Phil 3: 12)
"Grasping THE PURPOSE for which Christ grasped me" (J.B. Phillips)
The miracle of Christ walking on the sea to rescue His troubled and toiling disciples is the fifth of the eight
"sign-miracles" described in John's Gospel. It is interesting to note that John never used the word "dunamis" (act of
power) in his record; -it is consistently "semeion" (i.e. "sign"), something that signifies, or illustrates, something else.
It has its own hidden meaning, and is intended, not only as factual history, but also for interpretation, as also are the
parables. It is good to go through John's eight miracles with that in mind, and seeking to find the corresponding
"significance" in each case.
The miracle we now have in mind is a beautiful example of that. Christ and His disciples had-had a demanding day,
-including "feeding the five thousand", and, at its close, Christ Himself "went up into a mountain to pray" (John 6: 15;

In the spring of 1834, as he neared the end of his first tour of Protestant missions in India, Anthony Norris Groves (1795-1853) declared, "My earnest desire is to re-model the whole plan of missionary operations so as to bring them to the simple standard of God's word." (1) How might we interpret such a declaration? Was it presumptuous, subversive, or simply naive? Or was it the first deliberate expression of a primitivist and biblicist strategy that would prove to be of enormous significance to the future history of Protestant overseas mission?
