Now we all now it is not physically possible to walk on water. It goes completely against the laws of Physics to walk on water. If you do not know how to swim, and the water is deeper than your head, then you are going to sink. Yet in the 14th chapter of the gospel according to St. Matthew we see 2 people walk on water. Jesus is walking on the lake to the boat with the disciples. The disciples are struck with fear and terror at the site of the ghost coming to them on the water. Suddenly Peter realizes it is not a ghost but it is Jesus. He goes from terror to courage in an instant because he saw past the physical world he knew so well as he was a fisherman. He glimpsed the reality of the kingdom of God, and so he boldly proclaimed, “Master, if it’s really you, call me to come to you on the water.” He knew he could not walk on the water on his own, but with Jesus he could do anything.
Do we believe this? Do we think it is possible to walk on water if we only see Jesus as the reality of the kingdom of God? Peter walked on water, for a moment lived in the reality of God. He then focused on the world around him, and lost site of the kingdom, so he sank. Are we so bold and courageous to call to Jesus to call us out of the boat? Are we ready and willing to live in the kingdom of God, beyond the bounds of reality? Jesus is waiting to say come. Are you ready to step out if the boat?
