This teaching from Matthew 14:22-33 chronicles how, after feeding the 5,000, Jesus sends His disciples across the Sea of Galilee by boat while He prays alone on a mountain. When a fierce contrary wind arises in the early morning hours, Jesus comes to them walking on the water. Peter boldly asks to come to Jesus, steps out of the boat in faith, and actually walks on the water toward Him—until he sees the boisterous wind, becomes afraid, begins to sink, and cries out, “Lord, save me.” Jesus immediately catches him, they return to the boat, and the wind ceases. This account illustrates that the Christian life can lead us into storms and requires keeping our eyes on Christ, not on our circumstances. It also shows that Christ saves sinking people the moment they call on Him—while prophetically picturing Israel’s remnant in the Tribulation calling out to their Messiah at His Second Coming.
