Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:
Jesus said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked
on the water and came to Jesus. (Matt 14:29)
Why did Jesus walk on water?
Is it because he needed to get to the other side of the
lake? Probably not.
Did he want to impress his disciples? I don’t think so.
What if the main reason Jesus walked on water was to show
Peter that he too could walk on water? What
if He wanted to break Peter’s belief barrier and show him he could do the
miraculous?
Let’s take it a step further and bring it closer to home.
What if the one of the reasons Jesus performed His many
miracles (and made sure they were documented in the bible) was to show us that
we too, when living in union with Him, could do the miraculous?
In John 14:12, Jesus said ““Truly, truly, I say to you,
whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than
these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”
What if Jesus wanted to break our belief barrier?
What if He is standing on the water beckoning us to come?
