Lesson - Read Matthew 14:22-33
Matt 14:22-33
Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the
boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away.
And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself
to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there. But the boat was now
in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea.
And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying,
"It is a ghost!" And they cried out for fear. But immediately Jesus spoke
to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid." And Peter
answered Him and said, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the
water." So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat,
he walked on the water to go to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was
boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord,
save me!" And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and
said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" And when they got
into the boat, the wind ceased. Then those who were in the boat came and
worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God."
Col 1:16-17
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers.
All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist.
