AWKWARD!!!

Matthew 14:22 Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home.


23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone.


  24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves.


25 About three o'clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water.


26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified.

In their fear, they cried out, "It's a ghost!"


  27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. "Don't be afraid," he said. "Take courage. I am here!*"


  28 Then Peter called to him, "Lord, if it's really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water."


  29 "Yes, come," Jesus said.


  So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.


30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink.

       "Save me, Lord!" he shouted.


  31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him.

         "You have so little faith," Jesus said.

         "Why did you doubt me?"


  32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.

33 Then the disciples worshiped him. "You really are the Son of God!" they exclaimed.



Ok, think about this...

For the rest of the boat ride, there's Peter, soaking wet, sitting amongst the other disciples.

I wonder what Peter was thinking?

I wonder what the other disciples were thinking?

I wonder what the disciples asked Peter? (you KNOW they did!!! ;-) )

I wonder what Peter said to them?

I wonder what they said to Jesus? (I think I woulda asked, "How'd you do that?!)

And I wonder what Jesus was thinking?

What in the world would it have been like in that boat after Jesus & Peter got back into it & the storm quieted?

Awkward!!!
