Jesus says “Come”
Central Detroit Christian
Key Passage: Matthew 14:22-33
Jesus’ Rough Day
Jesus sends out the disciples.
The Disciples return with news of the death of John the Baptist.
His cousin has been beheaded
The feeding of the five thousand.
Jesus sends the disciples away in the boat and dismisses the crowds
Putting the kids to bed and doing some house work.
Jesus went to pray. He went to the Father to recharge.
He walks on the water.
Peter: “Lord, if it’s you, call me to come out onto the water”
your ways are better than mine…
When Peter practiced obedience to Jesus, Jesus responded with “come”.
Matthew 11:28 - “Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
When those in the boat saw Peter’s obedience and Jesus’ response they were deeply impacted.
Matthew 14:33 - Then those in the boat worshiped him and said, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
God is good despite our weakness and foolishness.
