“And they ran there on foot from all the towns ... When he went ashore he saw a great crowd ...” (v33-34). A few verses later, Mark repeats that people in another place “ran” to Jesus (v55). Their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs were desperate, and Jesus was the Savior they were seeking. Even the apostles who were his co-workers (v30), helping to minister to others, found themselves at sea, rowing against the wind. They too were afraid and desperate, and Jesus got into their boat and calmed the waves (v51).

“Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid” (v50). When we run to Jesus, honest about our desperate needs, he welcomes us with love and compassion. His presence drives out fear.
