This scripture teaches us several important lessons. Firstly, it highlights Jesus' ==divine power and authority over nature==. By walking on water, He demonstrated His supremacy over natural elements. Additionally, the passage teaches us about ==faith and trust in Jesus==. Peter was able to briefly walk on the water as long as he had faith, but his doubt caused him to falter. We can learn the significance of keeping our faith strong and relying on Jesus even when faced with difficult circumstances. Lastly, the passage emphasizes the importance of ==Jesus' presence and His willingness to come to our aid when we call upon Him==. Just as Jesus walked with Simon (Peter) and rescued him, we can trust that He is always there to comfort, guide, and rescue us in our times of need. > [!bible]+ [Matthew 14:22-33 - NIV](https://bolls.life/NIV/40/14/) > Jesus Walks on the Water<br/> > 22. Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. > 23. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, > 24. but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. > 25. During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. > 26. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. > 27. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” > 28. “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” > 29. “Come,” he said.<br/>Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. > 30. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” > 31. Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” > 32. And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. > 33. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
