“But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. ‘Save me, Lord!’ he shouted.”
—Matthew 14:30
It was an act of great faith to even try it in the first place. Peter climbed out of the boat, and instead of sinking, he stood. Soon he was walking on the water, looking at Jesus. It was a miraculous event.
Now, we don’t know what happened, but something caused Peter to take his eyes off the Lord. And we do know this: When Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to do to the impossible. But when he took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink.
We may criticize Peter for sinking instead of standing. Yet we don’t read of anyone else climbing out of the boat that night.
