It Is I
Matthew 14:23-33
Pastor Jerry Koller
Knowing they were freaked out; Jesus spoke words of comfort to them.
Peter does not answer this question.
Sometimes we are so familiar with a passage of Scripture describing an event that we overlook an important detail.
When Jesus reached out his hand and caught Peter, when He asked this question, the two were still on the water. They had not entered the boat.
Faith is something God gives us.
· By His grace, He gives us faith.
· Faith is trust in action.
"Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Son of God” is a term that reflects Deity, a term that acknowledges Jesus is God.
We Take Jesus at His word.
· When we take Jesus at His word, fear has to flee.
· Trusting Jesus gives us courage to carry on.
Circumstances Must Not Cloud our Vision or our Trust.
Happy Birthday!
