Jesus, the Great I Am | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Mark 6:45-56   The Great I Am Intercedes (Mark 6:45-46) Jesus dismisses His disciples and the crowd. Jesus departs to the mountain to be alone with His Father and pray.   The Great I Am Intervenes (Mark 6:47-52) Jesus walks on the water toward His disciples by displaying His deity (see Job 9:1-8; Isaiah 43:1-3). Jesus dispels the disciples' fears, proclaiming by His identity. Jesus confronts disciples' hardened hearts, by proving His Lordship over all things.   The Great I Am Interacts (Mark 6:53-56) Jesus personally gives Himself to those in desperate need, knowing that He alone is what they need most of all.
