Episode notes

Gregory of Nisa: In the gospel of John, we read this through the lens of the sacrament. He says Jesus is helping people to understand what the Eucharist really means. Tertullian describes it as us symbolically taking Jesus's body and blood into ourselves," he says. Some other ancient Christians understood the sacrament like a serum or antidote to death caused by eating the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Gregory says.

Dr. Combs continues to examine the miracle of Jesus and Peter walking on the water and how Jesus’s call to “Be not afraid.” How do we cast aside our doubts and fears?
