"Jesus Walking On The Water."
The people wanted to make Jesus a King but that is not why He came, He came to save, He came in humility.
The disciples were afraid but He drew near to comfort them. As He does with us, Jesus saw them toiling. Jesus knows and He comes to our aid.
Peter recognizes the Lord and His power, but Peter starts to sink and cries out Lord save me and Jesus saves him.
1/ The Sailors, 2/ The Saviour, 3/ The Shore.
1/ The disciples obeyed even though they must have had doubts. We must obey Him and His commandments. We need to grasp who He is. He is the Son of God the Saviour, the only one who can take away our sin. Peter had the faith to step out of the boat, will you accept or reject His call.
2/ Jesus came to die in our place so that we might be saved, and then when life gets tough He comes to us to help us through. We must be willing to open the door of our hearts to Him. Receive Him into your life.
3/ We are on a journey.
Matthew 7 vs.13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Luke 16 vs.23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
The broad road leads to destruction and Hell and that is easy. the hard way is the narrow way but it leads to Heaven to spend eternity with God who loves us.
Jesus provided a way by dying for us on the cross He took the punishment for our sin on Himself, put your trust in Him for Salvation.
