When He gets closer, He says: “Take courage, it is I, don’t be afraid.” Impetuous Peter then blurts out: “Lord, if it’s you, tell me to come to You on the water.” And then Jesus does exactly that. Peter then gets out of the boat and begins to walk on the water toward Christ. Amazing. And even more amazing is that Peter didn’t sink—because via faith he kept his gaze fixed on Christ. The power of faith can and does support us in all aspects of life, as long as it doesn’t look away. But then Peter falters and does look away, is petrified, and begins to sink. “Lord save me!” And Jesus doesn’t exactly that, leads him to the boat and immediately the whole storm calms in an instant. To prove this wasn’t some sort of hallucination, the whole group says: “Truly You are the Son of God.” And they also worshipped Him.
