BIBLE TEXT: The story is taken from John 6:14-21. Teachers should read the story first to review what they are teaching. Simplified story text is associated with each chart for the teacher to read as they show the material.
JOHN 6:14-21: “14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. 16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19 When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water ; and they were terrified. 20 But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." 21 Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.” (NIV)

Jesus needed some time alone, so He told His Apostles to get in a boat and go ahead of Him to Bethsaida. Then Jesus dismissed the crowd that was with Him and went up to a mountain by himself.

Now the boat with the apostles in it was out in the middle of the lake and Jesus saw that the apostles were really having a hard time rowing the boat because the wind was against them. On toward morning while it was still dark, Jesus went walking across the water toward the apostles. He intended to walk on past them but they saw Him and thought He was a ghost. They cried out in fear. Jesus called to the men, “Don’t be afraid. It’s just me.”

When Peter realized it was Jesus and saw what He was doing, he thought, “I ‘d like to do that too.” So he called Jesus, “Lord if it’s really you, let me com to you on the water.”
Jesus said, “Come.”
Then Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. Everything was going fine as long as peter kept his eyes on Jesus. But when he began to notice the wind, he became afraid.

Peter began to sink. “Help, I’m drowning,” he screamed.
Jesus reached out to him and took his hand and said, “Peter, why do you have such little faith? Why do you doubt?”
(Application may be made here that as long as we keep our eyes on Jesus and His power, we can walk over our own problems. But when we begin to focus our attention on our problems and our own power to solve them, we begin sinking in our problems.)

And Jesus and Peter got back into the boat and the apostles fell down and worshipped Jesus. “Truly, you are the Son of God,” they said.
