When I was young, I was not much of an outdoorsy person. I tended toward more intellectual and artistic pursuits, and despite my dad’s best efforts to take me hunting and fishing, this seemed destined to remain the case. Then, ten years ago, I spent the summer living, working, and ministering in Yellowstone National Park. I was looking for a chance to live out my faith in a new context, outside of the familiarity of the upper Midwest, and what could be more different than in the middle of a giant wilderness, with coworkers from all around the world?

It was an incredible, formational summer. I took in some of the most breathtaking wonders God’s creation has to offer: boiling mud, stunning canyon views, awesome wildlife, and scalding water hurled hundreds of feet into the air. And through it all, in my readings, discussion with friends, and ministry, I was continually pointed back to the greater majesty of its Creator.

The account of Jesus walking on water appears in Matthew, Mark, and John, but Mark’s account struck me as I was preparing this. In

Pass Them By You

When I read this initially, I confess I was uncertain as to what was meant by the phrase “He meant to pass by them”. According to my study Bible, this is not so that the disciples would fail to see him, but precisely so that they would see him. The act of Jesus walking on the water reveals a glimpse of God’s glory. The same phraseology appears in Exodus 33:19, where Moses asks to see God’s glory, and God allows his goodness to “pass before” him.

Moreover, the entire scene echoes Job’s declaration in Job 9:8: “who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea.” In passing by his disciples, Jesus is reveals his divinity and utter mastery of the Creation. This same Jesus is also sovereign over all the wonders of Creation that we see and experience, including the canyons, geysers, and wildlife of Yellowstone I experienced so profoundly ten years ago.
