Matthew 14:22-33
I just like this passage.
When Jesus walks across the water and shows up at the boat, the disciples (for lack of better words) flipped out. They were incredibly scared. Then, when Jesus called Peter out to walk on the water, he took his eyes off of Jesus and fell in the water.
The disciples JUST witnessed like a bazillion miracles. They JUST saw Jesus feed 5,000 people. Why were they so shocked that Jesus walked up to them on water?! I’m not in anyway making light of this miracle. It was amazing and superhuman, but so was everything else that Jesus did.
As I struggle to understand why they were so surprised and skeptical, I realize I’m the same way! I’ve witnessed God move in my live a HUNDRED times, but I’m still skeptical and mistrusting!
Peter seemed to forget all the miracles Jesus had already performed. Peter’s thought process should have been “I’ve seen Jesus do crazier things… I’m gonna trust Him and keep moving forward…” That should be our mindset too.
