Grow my faith Lord, and I will come to You on the water, not for my sake, but for Your glory. In the case of Ray Charles, it is literally true. The problem with the skeptic is not a lack of evidence, but rather his love of his sin. In common parlance, a Come-to-Jesus moment is a metaphor for a life-changing epiphany about oneself. More than anything, this episode reveals that the reality in which we live would have us to worship our Savior and King and to confess in faith, “Truly You are the Son of God!” No storm can disturb that peace.įather, You have taught me over and over again that through every storm, when I am in over my head, You are there. Lesson 12: How to Come to Jesus (John 2:18-22) You’ve probably had the experience of talking to a skeptic about Christ only to have him say, If I could see a miracle, I’d believe. More realistically, Scripture shows us that we should do everything that we can do, and God will take care of those things we cannot do. “Lord, save me!” and, lo, there He is.ĭoes this mean that we should attempt impossible things because of faith, as Peter was inclined to do? No one else in Scripture ever tried anything like what he did without the direct and unsolicited bidding of God. This rescue is the spiritual truth that defines our reality, and the reality to which this passage speaks. How many times have you cried out, “Lord, save me!” and, lo, there He is? All we can say with the little faith we have remaining is, “Lord, save me!” And wouldn’t you know it, there He is. That is a glorious thing.īut then, our doubt will cause us to see our circumstances, and when that happens, we quickly find ourselves in over our heads.

But even in that context, the greater reality is Christ urging us into faith: “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”įaith causes us to see Christ for who He is. We also understand in faith that this episode reveals a spiritual truth that defines the reality in which we live.įor the Christian, that reality contains a mixture of faith and doubt. How do we understand a passage like this that seems so disconnected from the reality we live in? Well, we understand the word of God in faith and believe that this event actually happened. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29 “Come,” he said. ![]()
