Jesus Calms a storm.

Meanwhile  the boat, already a few miles offshore, was being tossed about by waves, for the wind was against it. During the fourth watch at night, he came toward them , walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea they were  terrified ." Its a Ghost!" they said, and they cried out in fear.  At once Jesus spoke to them " Take courage, it is I ;do not be afraid ." Peter said to him in reply , " Lord if it is you, command , me to come to on the water" He said " Come"  Peter got out of the boat  and began to walk on water toward Jesus. But when he saw how strong  the wind was he became frightened and had little faith.- Matthew 14: 22-35

While Jesus is away on a hill praying his disciples leave him  into the sea by his order... Its not said what sea. but by looking at maps I would believe Sea of Galilee.In my belief I think that while Jesus was praying on top of the mountain, he wanted the wind blowing storm to happen so that he could test his disciples. To see how much faith they have in him, how much they believe in him....

  Peter as human as human can be first is the doubter with little faith, causing himself to sink and testing the lord he had little faith and this one thing grew in him to become a great person... until the day he betrayed the lord when the Lord needed him the most. But, Jesus forgives everyone, even the doubter/ disbeliever. Peter and Jesus has had the most unique  journey out of all of them..... Starts out with picking him, getting his brother bring him to Jesus.... Having a hard time believing  Jesus at times, not trusting him at others, saying he is lord of lords and king of kings, denying the lord, and becoming the head of the church, with the keys of heaven.

   I got to say we all have are times when we doubt in the Lord when we lose faith, and hope but if we try to let God back and we want God in he will come in, he will guide us back to the road to that narrow gate. We are only human peter made mistakes we make mistakes it will take longer for others to get back on the road but if you have faith they will.

Jesus did this to see how much faith the disciples have in him, to see if they believe, to see if they know their teacher. but in this case it's a ghost! :)  I would think that too if I haven't seen my master in a few hours and it's 2:in the morning. Now the thing is all the stories are were passed down. Matthew wasn't sitting their with a pencil and paper writing everything down that Jesus says.... or if he was he would have used I and would have made it more of him not others and not so much detail. The Gospels won't be 100% accurate... they are close but not 100% because things change over person to person... like one time I played that game where the message is passed down person to person, I said an elephant drove a truck. when it was  The ice cream is in the trunk  now you think " how the heck can that be" it's hoe it gets passed down.

The lord loves us and will keeps us floating on the water if we have faith and love God and give him our praise which he wants from us for us to recognise  God in our life.
