MEDITATING IN JESUS WALKS ON THE WATER
Let's draw some lessons from this passage.
1 - Jesus separated time high intimacy with God, moments that only he and the Father are alone
“he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray” (v.23)
Likewise we Christians must have moments to talk intimately with God, are the moments of locking yourself in the room.
2 - Moments in the Life of waves and headwinds. Not avoid. The life of each of us reserves these episodes, it is at this point that our faith in God is tested to the limit. Not seeing the physical presence of Jesus, the disciples were afraid
3 - the disciples thought it was a ghost when they saw Jesus walking on water. Ghost is not a disembodied spirit, but all that haunting question, an illness, unemployment and other evils are ghosts in the lives of many people.
4 - Jesus said come! Peter was the one that sank, but was also the one who is willing to walk on water. Who is afraid to face the problems and struggles shows less faith than those who go to sea and venture toward Jesus.
5 - The biggest complaint that God has against us is undoubtedly the lack of faith, faith is not only to achieve earthly victories. The more faith that God expects us to obey is faith, faith to suffer and be persecuted, not to deny the name of Jesus. Faith to seek spiritual blessings and not faith to get things earthly and passing. Therefore the ungodly shall seek all the time.
