Good morning, beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. Today, we reflect on the miraculous event of Jesus walking on water, as recorded in Matthew 14:22-33 (KJV).
"And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God."
This passage reveals several important truths:
Jesus' Sovereignty Over Nature: Jesus walking on water and calming the storm demonstrates His divine authority over the natural world, affirming His identity as the Son of God.
Faith and Doubt: Peter's initial faith allowed him to walk on water towards Jesus. However, when he focused on the storm, fear and doubt caused him to sink. This teaches us the importance of keeping our eyes on Jesus, especially in turbulent times.
As we reflect on Jesus walking on water, let us be reminded to trust in His power and presence in our lives. Even in the midst of storms, we can walk in faith, knowing that Jesus is always there to reach out and save us.
