In that story, we recall that Jesus’ effort to go to a quiet place to pray was interrupted by the crowds. So aſter his long day of teaching the multudes, he heads off to the mountain for quiet me. In the meanme, the disciples get into a boat and head out to sea. But, suddenly, a big storm erupts and they become very frightened. Then without invitaon, Jesus comes towards them. At first, they think he is a ghost. Jesus tells them to ‘take courage’ as they confront a big storm. Peter asks if he can come to Jesus walking on the water, something that takes a lot of courage. As long as Peter keeps his eyes on Jesus, he does well, but once he focuses on the storm, he starts to sink. Jesus comes to Peter’s aid and takes his hand. Our constant challenge, especially in mes of fear, is to put our hand in the hand of Jesus. Jesus saves his frightened friend and rebukes him for his ‘lile faith.’ Recognizing Jesus’ power over nature, the disciples worship him saying: “Truly you are the Son of God.” Wring his Gospel many decades later, Mahew applies the incident to his congregaon. The disciples in the boat represent the infant church. The stormy winds represent the fierce persecuon of the early church. While Jesus is not with them physically, he is present spiritually. When all seems lost, Jesus shows up. The part of the story where Peter walks on water and then sinks could refer to Peter’s lapse of faith during the passion and his restoraon by Jesus aſter the Resurrecon. It is also symbolic of how any of us could start out courageously and then falter when the storm or crisis comes our way. Anniversaries for the Week Aug. 10—Phillip & Kathy Baird (24 yrs.)
