Jesus Walks on the Water

 

Matthew 14

 

²² Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. ²³ After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, ²⁴ and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

²⁵ 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.

²⁷ But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

²⁸ “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

²⁹ “Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

³² And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. ³³ Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

 

 

Don’t we get afraid at times in our lives? I’m sure we all have been afraid of things that we feel will hurt us or defeat us. Jesus was teaching his disciples that there is nothing to fear..we may say we try to walk on water during our life time but we sink to..the doubt takes us over and we fall..Jesus was saying trust Him in all ways, and he won’t let us sink..Love BettyB..Let’s pray

 

 

Precious Lord Jesus, we adore you and we need you to hear us this morning. Lord, we ask for guidance this day, we ask for you to help us walk on the water of life, and in our lives we ask for your Spirit to lead us into all Truth Lord, your Truth. Today, Lord we need a touch from you as we go on through our days..Lead us and guide us Lord, In Jesus Name…Amen.
