Matthew 14: 22-33 (08.13.2023)

In response to seeing Jesus walk on water, Peter gets out and attempts to do the same. It's an act of faith, an attempt to allow the reality that Jesus opens up to inform Peter's own life and actions. That isn't an easy thing to do-- regardless of what our faith calls us to do. In fact, whatever else Peter does here, he illustrates the challenge of living in faith.
