Jesus Walks on the Water Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” Matthew 14:22-33(NIV) Peter actually walked on water in the midst of the storm. When he took his eyes off of Jesus and focused on the storm, he began to sink. Peter turned his eyes back on Jesus and called upon Him for help. Jesus reached out his hand and rescued him from the storm. Where is your focus when you go through the storms of this life. Turn you eyes upon Jesus and call out to Him. He will take you by the hand and lead you through. Jesus loves you. If you don’t know Him call on Him today. Ask Him to forgive your sins and become the Lord of life today!
