Matthew 14: 22-33



Jesus came to his disciples between 3-6am.
God always come at the hour where we are truly vulnerable and the time we do not expect.
Especially when we are frustrated, when bad things keep coming one after another,
when our life is upside down. Jesus appears out of nowhere to be with us.

What does walking on water signify?
Walking on water is an example of an impossible task and Jesus shows us that He can make any seemingly impossible task possible.
He is above all his creation (the ocean is his creation as well).

"Come!" Jesus invites us into the troubled water and shows us that he will journey us in our lives and not be afraid of what lies in there.
Give up our insecurities and get out of our comfort zone (boat) and join him.

He said "Courage! Do not be afraid" and when he went into the boat, the wind died.
This signifies that when the Lord comes into our unstable life, he will make everything stable. (Calming our insecurities)
