Who needs to water ski?

I was looking at Lake Ainslie yesterday.

I wonder what it would be like to walk on the water?

It was a beautiful day. The water was reflection calm.

When Jesus walked on the water, as told in Matthew 14, it was quite different; it was in the middle of a huge storm.

His disciples were having trouble keeping their boat afloat, eventhough there were experienced fisherman among them.

When Jesus comes to them walking on the water, Peter calls out that he too wants to walk on the water over to Jesus.

A fun thing to do. Let's do it.

Jesus says OK come. Peter jumps out and walks toward Jesus.

Two of them walking on the water in the middle of a storm.

Jesus and Peter, the only two men that I know of who have walked on water.

Amazing!

Suddenly Peter notices the storm and is terrified and begins to sink and calls out to Jesus, "Save me".

Instantly Jesus grabs him and pulls him up.

You may not have noticed but Jesus didn't calm the storm until they were back in the boat.

Many times the storms don't stop immediately.

But Jesus is with us.

And maybe we will walk on water
