This week we conclude our four-week series “Get out of the Boat.” We’ve examined how Peter heard Christ call and got out of the boat onto a raging sea. We’ve looked at Jonah’s realization that running from God was hurting him and those around him. We’ve looked at Samuel’s call from God to lead the people of Israel.
One part we haven’t discussed yet is the group that watched Peter step out onto the water that night. What about the other disciples? What were they thinking? What would they have said? We can only speculate. But let me ask you--what would you say if you saw someone get out of the boat and onto the waters in the middle of the night? Would you applaud him? Tell him he’s crazy? Wait for him to fail? Hope you didn’t hear the call too?
Maybe it is time we examined our own lives and find out where we’d fit into that picture. Christ IS calling each and every one of us to follow him. Will we GET OUT OF THE BOAT?
