Matthew 14:32&33
"32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God."
The Disciples were caught up in a storm that was about to sink their ship! It's a terrifying experience for the Disciples and Jesus comes in the night, in the storm, walking on the water to help them! Peter stepped out on the water and meet Jesus. And! Peter ALSO walks on water!!! It was miraculous! Peter has faith enough to step out of the boat and walk across the surface of the sea!!!
All to quickly Peter sank into the water. He cried out; "LORD, SAVE ME!" Immediately Jesus stretched forth His hand, and caught him. The way Jesus saves Peter here, is just like Jesus saves all mankind by being sacrificed on the cross. Jesus's incarnation is like the hand that reaches down and pulls Peter up out of the water, saving him from drowning. Jesus saves us all from drowning in the waves of our sins.
Just like Jesus makes the world safer and calmer, the Disciples find the end of the storm, in today's verses; "And when they were come into the ship, the WIND CEASED. Then they that were in the ship came and WORSHIPPED Him, saying, Of a truth Thou art the Son of God." This profound moment showed the Disciples just who Jesus was; "Thou art the Son of God." This was from first hand Experience. Recorded in Holy Scriptures, it is a blessing to have these words for our study.
Praise the Lord!
