The penultimate offering in my "Miracles of God" series focuses on the incredible story recorded in Matthew 14 when Jesus walked on the water.
The passage also gives us the gripping plight of Peter as he stepped out of the boat to join Jesus, defying the laws of nature as he focused on the Messiah, only to find himself sinking when he took his eyes off of his Lord.
If we feel like we’re sinking today, may we call out in faith to our all-powerful Saviour. And as we do, may we feel His reassuring grip pull us out of the sea of fear and doubt we’re close to drowning in.
This first video contains the Scriptures and the poetry verse itself. The Insight section will be in the next recording. May this meditation bless you today. Love Lucy x
The Miracles Of God- Jesus Walks On The Sea.
Matthew 14:22-33
“Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear.
But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased.
Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.”
