Walking on Water
Then Peter got down out of the boat ... Matthew 14:29
I think sometimes we give Peter a bit of a hard time!
We think of him as all front and no brains.
The disciple who acts before he thinks.
But in this story he is the hero.
He is the only one who joins Jesus by walking on the water.
All the others stay in the boat watching.
Sure he takes his eyes off Jesus eventually and becomes aware of the impossibility of what he was doing ...
that's when he starts to sink ...
but for those few moments ...
he actually walked on water!
We need more Peters today, even if they're wet ones!
