Readers, JUMP OUT OF YOUR BOAT!

Peter is my hero. No, not the “family guy” Peter (although he does crack me up) but the Peter found in the Bible. He was always the first to do something. I am sure the others were like, “What the heck Peter!?! Great, Peter is going to get us in trouble again. Who does he think he is? SHUT UP Peter!” Ok, there isn’t a Bible verse that I know of that says any of that, but that’s how I picture him hanging out with his buddies. Regardless, he is my hero. If I could have his faith, his determination, his zeal….imagine what I could do! Imagine what you could do? One of my favorite “preaching” lessons to the youth is found in Matthew 14:29. The Message says he jumped out of the boat to meet up with Jesus. DUDE! What if we jumped out of the boat and went to see Jesus. The boat is different for everyone reading this, but there is a boat none the less. What if you jumped out of the boat today. That would take some faith! (If there is anyone reading this on an actual boat, I am not saying to literally jump out of your boat!). Are you ready to take that jump of faith and let Jesus catch you?
