Jesus Walks on the Water
The disciples of Jesus had been out to sea for some time
now.  Earlier in the day Jesus had asked them to go before
Him to the other side of the sea.  But now it was dark and a
storm was blowing the waves higher and higher. The disciples
wished that Jesus had come with them.  They became afraid as
the lightning flashed around them.  Suddenly, one of them
shouted, "Look! A ghost!"  With terrified faces they watched
as the ghost walked toward them on the water!  But then the
ghost spoke to them and said, "It is I.  Don't be afraid."
Peter shouted, "It is Jesus!"  Peter called out to Jesus and
asked, "Lord, can I come out to you on the water?"  "Come,"
Jesus said.  Peter climbed into the stormy sea.  He began to
walk on the water also!  But then he took his eyes off of
Jesus and began to doubt. He began to sink!  He cried out to
Jesus, "Lord, save me!" Jesus reached out and caught him. As
they climbed into the boat Jesus asked, "why did you doubt?"
