We usually focus on the subject of today’s gospel reading as the amazing feat of Jesus in walking on the water; we preach about what this tells us of God’s command of nature, or God’s oneness with creation. All of that is true and worthy of our praise. But every miracle of Jesus also has a human face. There’s as great a miracle in what Jesus did for Peter that day.
This is the miracle told another way – Peter took a leap of faith – and though he fell, he did not drown. For Jesus held him. And Peter’s leap of faith illuminates our own Simon Peter moments.
– from today's talk, He took a leap of faith – and though he fell, he did not drown.
