However, Jesus spoke that word as an open call to everyone on that boat to go to Him. Do you remember when you dropped your whole life into His service because of that monosyllabic word that resonated with a ring like a hammer striking the head of a nail? Come.Īs we all so often do, we ignore that tugging word, saying things like “he was called to come” or “Jesus can’t be talking to me”. The word tugs at our souls as it did the first time He spoke it to each of us. Who would dare to question Jesus? Then you hear it, the voice of Jesus, Gentle and calm, not angry saying “come”. You almost have time to be appalled at the brazen nature of this question. Jesus gets to the boat and Peter, Jesus’ most hot headed disciple, demands “If it is you Lord tell me to come to you”. You know that the voice you hear calling to you not to be afraid is that of the man to whom you have dedicated yourself, the voice of your teacher, your rabbi. Then you hear a voice, a voice with which you are very familiar. You and your fellow disciples cry out in awe because you have never seen anything like this before. You believe it’s a ghost, humans cannot walk on water. Suddenly you see a man walking on the water as though he were on dry land. Picture yourself on an old wooden boat floating across a lake which becoming getting colder with the dying day. Today we read the story of Jesus walking on water from Matthew 14.How many of us look at this story and consider the “Lack of Faith” that Peter has? But does he? Let us look at the other disciples. Thank you for taking the 20/20 challenge! Today the meditation is from Matthew 14:26-30 Online Bible Study, Day 14 Scripture and Meditation
