other side of the lake, while He sent the people home.

up into the hills by Himself to pray. Night fell while He was there
alone.
24 Meanwhile, the disciples
were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and
they were fighting heavy waves.
25 About three o’clock in the
morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water.
26 When the disciples saw Him
walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried
out, “It’s a ghost!”
27 But Jesus spoke to them at once.
“Don’t be afraid,” He said. “Take courage. I am here!”
28 Then Peter called to Him, “Lord,
if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.”
29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So
Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward
Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strong
wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me,
Lord!” he shouted.
31 Jesus immediately reached out and
grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did
you doubt Me?”
32 When they climbed back into the
boat, the wind stopped.
33 Then the disciples worshiped him.
“You really are The Son Of God!” they exclaimed.

despair.

abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed.

continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the Life of Jesus may
also be seen in our bodies.

The Life Of Jesus will be evident in
our dying bodies.
