When Jesus walks on water toward the disciples, they initially think he is a ghost. Fear grips them, but Jesus reassures them, saying, "Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid." Here, Peter steps up, asking Jesus to command him to come onto the water. This moment is pivotal; Peter’s willingness to step out of the boat exemplifies bold faith. Peter's request is not just for proof; it’s a call to action. When Jesus says, “Come,” Peter climbs out of the boat and begins to walk on water. This illustrates that faith is not just intellectual assent; it requires action. We must actively pursue Jesus, even when it seems impossible. Are we willing to take that leap of faith in our lives?
