Success through Failure: From Stumbling Blocks to Stepping Stones (Keys for Living Library)
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
The boat is battered and tossed about on the waves. Surging water surrounds the disciples as they rigorously row their way across the lake in the dark of night. Before the voyage is over, Peter would both ride the crest of faith and be submerged under a wave of doubt. Jesus had instructed His disciples to go on ahead of Him. Now He joins them—by walking out to them on the water.
“It’s a ghost.” They scream in terror, but immediately Jesus assures them it is He—there is no need to fear. Peter then makes a bold, if not brash, request: “Lord, if it’s you... tell me to come to you on the water.” Jesus responds, “Come” (Matthew 14:26–29).
Quickly Peter climbs out of the boat and begins walking toward Jesus... literally walking on the water! Imagine the excitement—imagine the exhilaration! But a tide of fear soon sweeps over Peter when he becomes preoccupied with the blustery wind around him and he begins to sink. “Lord, save me!” Peter frantically cries out. Immediately Jesus reaches out His hand and rescues him—and then rebukes him: “You of little faith... why did you doubt?” (Matthew 14:30–31).
