28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said.
So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong[d] wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?”
32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped. 33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed.
Tears never fail to stream down whenever I watch Sun's sermons online. Matthew 14. Peter was the only disciple who walked on water. Peter was the only disciple who stepped out of his boat to stepped out of the boat to get a hold of Him. He was crazy, so crazy. The other disciples must have thought he was crazy, probably shameless to walk on freaking water to look for Jesus.
Soon, Peter was terrified and he began to sink. I think he knew what the danger was before he stepped out of the boat. Nonetheless, he did it.
While stepping out of the boat and walking out to the water to reach for Jesus, he must have thought, 'Jesus, you are my everything'. When he sank into the water, he wasn't just sinking into mere sea water, but he sunk into God's love.
Your love so deep
Is washing over me
Your face is all I seek
You are my everything
Jesus Christ
You are my one desire
Lord, teach me how to step out of the boat. Give me faith like Peter. Remind me that when I sink, I'm sinking deep into your love. Into your grace. Into your strength. Lord, you are my everything. Help me to understand what it means when I say, 'you are my everything'. I've got nothing here except you. All of me, in exchange of all of you.
Amen
