Mat 14:28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
Mat 14:29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
After Jesus had finished feeding the five thousands, he sent his disciples a head of him by boat to Bethsaida. After dismissing the crowd, he went to the hills to pray.
During the fourth watch, the disciples were still in the boat trying to row towards Bethsaida. The wind was blowing against them and they were blown off course towards the middle of the lake when suddenly Jesus came walking on water. The disciples were terrified because they thought they were seeing a ghost. In order to be sure , Peter told him ” *Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”*
When Peter got the assurance that he needed, he got out of the boat and started walking on water. Christian friends, so long as it is Him who has commanded, we will do it. His word is dependable, reliable and trustworthy. He is the Truth and therefore can neither deceive nor lie.
Phi 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
