HAVE FAITH

Matthew 14:25 says, "During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake."


Mark 6:48 says, "He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them."


John 6:19 says, "When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified."


The context of these passages is the fact that the disciples were in a boat on the Sea of Galilee and a wind blew up. This incident followed the feeding of the five thousand and Jesus had gone alone to pray and sent the disciples ahead in the boat. Then in the middle of the windstorm Jesus walks on the water out to the boat. When the disciples see Him, at first they think it is a ghost and Jesus speaks peace to them. "When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. 'It's a ghost,' they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: 'Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid.' 'Lord, if it's you,' Peter replied, 'tell me to come to you on the water.' 'Come,' he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, 'Lord, save me!' Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. 'You of little faith,' he said, 'why did you doubt?'"http://www.allaboutjesuschrist.org/jesus-walks-on-water-faq.htm
Even when we doubt; even when we're afraid; even when we fail, Jesus is there to save us.
