Peter was a very interesting man and definitely a disciple worth remembering. He sees Jesus walking on water and asks to join Him (an unusual request). Jesus calls him to come and when Peter obeys he walks for a few seconds on the water until he looks around and sees the raging storm. Jesus reaches out and catches him as he starts to sink and chides him gently. Jesus’ question of Peter is something we can look at for our own lives. Doubt and fear are the two weapons that the enemy uses many times to derail our faith and undermine God’s power and capabilities. When we are surrounded by hardship and suffering sometimes it’s easier to focus on the struggle than on the Saviour. It may be time for us to intentionally look to God for our help even when we are plagued by doubt and fear.
Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 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.”
