I love the story of Peter in the New Testament. Peter was a key part of his family’s fishing business. One day, he was cleaning up the boats, just as he had done every other day and he sees a different sight. Someone new has moved to town and this new person, Jesus, is teaching a large group of people. The crowd is so large that Jesus borrows one of Peter’s boats to use a speaking platform.
The encounter that follows changes Peter’s life. He abandons the only life he has known and begins to follow Jesus. But that’s not the most amazing part. The most amazing part is when Jesus tells Peter to GET OUT OF THE BOAT. Jesus tells Peter to step out of a perfectly good boat and walk to Him. What did Peter know or see that he would get out of the boat for? What would it take for us to get out of our boats? This week let’s examine what it would take. Be sure to read it yourself. You’ll find the story in Matthew 14:22-33.
