Jesus rescues Peter

Peter is having a huge success getting out of the boat and then walking on the water towards Jesus. The other 11 won’t even get out of the boat. But Peter starts to get afraid (I can relate) and taking his eyes off Jesus starts to sink! He cries out to Jesus in panic! Jesus immediately grabs him and pulls him back up on top of the water! It highlights Jesus’ protection for Peter. Jesus essentially says, “Peter, why did you doubt, you can do this thing, you can walk the whole way to me next time! Keep your eyes on Me!”

Jesus is the image of God (2 Cor 4:4) Jesus protection, reveals God’s protection.
