SCRIPTURE: Matthew 14:22-36
Question(s) For Meditation:
► Q 1: What does the passage teach about God the Father, or God the Son or God the Holy Spirit?
Jesus demonstrates the importance of constant prayer. “… He went up into the hills by himself to pray” (Matthew 14:23). How often do you spend time alone with God in prayer? Jesus, being fully Man, depended on the Father for success in His ministry (cf. I Thessalonians 5:17,John 5:16-24).
In the fearful world that we have found ourselves today, people are longing for a cheer leader, who can banish their fears and restore peace and gladness in a cheerless world. Here we see two types of fear confronting the disciples of the Lord Jesus and Peter: seeing a man walking on the sea, they were troubled and felt doomed, since this could be nothing but a ghost.
Peter, on the other hand was confronted by the raging storm, he defied the storm so long as he focused on the Saviour. His problem came when he looked away from Jesus. He saw the boisterous wind and fear overtook faith and he began to sink. Is this not synonymous with our daily life experiences? We keep afloat so long as we focus on the Saviour. We begin to sink, under the weight of fear and pains, the moment we look away from the risen Lord.
“Look and live, my brother, live. Look to Jesus now and live, ….”.
Food for Thought:
What are you passing through? With Jesus in the boat, you can smile at the storms of life (Matthew 14:32).
Prayer: Pray for travellers today, especially across the sea.
