IF YOU ARE GOING TO SERVE THE LORD, YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THE BOAT.
VS 28-29
Elab.
Most of the messages that I have heard on this scripture.
Peter lack of faith because he took his eyes off Jesus.
This is true, but there were still 11 guys still in the boat.
Peter was the only one that took a step on faith.
1.
Peter was not testing Jesus.
Peter was reacting in faith.
Elab on what Peter asked Jesus.
Jesus didn't say, Peter of course it's me.
He didn't try to talk Peter into coming to him.
He just said "come"
1.
Peter heard the word of the Lord, he believed the word of the Lord.
But, it didn't show his faith until he reacted on the word of the Lord.
Elab the first time they caught all the fish.
2. We have to take the Lord at his word.
We can do all this though him.
That is his word.
a.
But it is more then just believing and hearing the Lord.
Like Peter we have to take that step of faith.
VS. 29b.
Peter lifted one foot over the side of the boat.
The waves begin the splash against his leg.
