Of all characters in the bible, the one which I can relate the most are David and Peter. There are quite a few phrases that the bible uses to convey a great convoy of meanings. The effective amplitude of the meaning and gravity of the concept is much above and much compelling than the literal meaning and simplicity of such statement. One easy example would be John’s confession that God is Love. If you take a closer look, John is not trying to define god and is not even talking about an attribute of God. That is in fact a giving-up kind of statement from a man who was devastated in God’s love. He has seen that in action, in flesh, in words. Once he tried to say that god is that chord of rational logic that sets the whole universe in motion. In a way he was saying god is the essence of all conscience. He borrowed the then prevailing concept of logos to depict god. After so many such ‘futile’ attempts John is finally giving up his efforts and is simply saying that: “Oh! Look ye my little children. I tried my level best to tell you the personal traits of a personal god. I tried to portray the magnificence of an omnipresent god in whom this whole universe is contained. But I am admitting that I failed. I failed to even convey a glimpse of his glory. I failed to even admonish a portion of his majesty. And above all, I failed to even touch upon the effects and manifestations of his fathomless love to you and me. Hence I am hereby refraining from all my efforts and is gonna just say God is Love and put a period.” And that is John, with a heart full of gratitude and soul full of joy, scribbled down when he made that statement.
The Spirit of God has used such phrases in many places. When it is said that “That day David became afraid of God”, it also is not the narration of an event with a moral tail. The statement, “Jesus turned and looked at Peter” was not simply to educate the reader that yet another prediction of Jesus came true. That one look transpired volumes of teaching that peter could not imbibe from three and a half years of life with Jesus. Many times we overlook such phrases and fall short in appreciating the real amplified beauty of the phrase, context or event. One such event, which is not only overlooked but many times misinterpreted, is an incident from the life of Peter and Jesus. Mathew 14: 28-31. It’s the much familiar scene of Peter walking on the water.
This incident is often quoted to discuss the faithlessness of Peter and exhortation of Jesus to trust him. It indeed is incidental on both aspects. But there is one special point we often miss. Do you realize that of all the humans even lived on this earth, of all humans with an authentic recorded history, Peter is the single man who walked on water apart from god incarnate Jesus. It is true that he sank a little; but he did walk on the water. He did experience in his own flesh the magnificent feeling when waves of water petted his feet against the prevailing laws of nature. He did stand along with the master of the universe and witnessed those unshakable boundaries of natural law shivering before the writer of those laws. He did walk on the water.
This particular passage is also a clear representation of a divinely acceptable Christian life. Holy Spirit is clearly illuminating the modus operandi. Each statement there is a statement of purpose.
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied,
The prerogative for a Christian life is reflected in the statement. i.e the following laws or rather rights are applicable only if you satisfy this condition. Without acknowledging this authority and surrendering to His will, the exhortation that follows would be mundane, dry, indifferent, fanatic and of no practical use to you. Many times Christian doctors wonder why ‘Christians’ have difficulty in being Christians. There is nothing much to diagnose over it. It is God’s statement of purpose that you better acknowledge him first and then things will automatically fall in line. This statement by Peter is exclusively based on the following assumptions.
I believe in you.
I believe that you can do these things.
I believe that if you will I can also do these things.
I commit myself to doing your will.
I shall be allowed to go ahead if and only if it is you will.
And here I am and here I come to do your will.
"tell me to come to you on the water."
Now that is a very strong statement. Isn’t it? What was peter asking for? There is a saying like this: “Be careful with what you ask for. You may just get it!” of all those disciples in that boat, Peter was the only crazy guy to express his desire to walk on the water. It was acceptable that Jesus walked on the water. After all the disciples knew this man was something special. Jesus was their guru, the teacher. But a disciple demanding such a desire is not so common among many guru-shishya relations. Interestingly this is exactly the Lord desires from every Christian. That, after acknowledging him as Lord, a Christian should desire to walk on the water. Maybe it will sound silly. It is indeed illogical. It is against all natural laws of the world. It could be against the whims and fancies of your society/culture/family/friends/lover. You will definitely invite scores of strange looks and abuses from people around you. They will call you all sorts of names. They will advice you to get back to your senses and be normal. They will scroll the total human history before you and will educate you that from the starting of ages, no one has ever walked or even attempted to walk on the water. And they are right. Their concerns for you are serious and out of love. But I stand corrected here as per the word of God. Somehow God desires that you cast away all your inhibitions, overlook the possible dangers, cling to Him in total faith and do walk on the water.
And peter indeed walked on the water.
In continuation with the assumptions we derived from the previous phrase, here the following assertions are certain.
I am true to my commitment to do your will.
I earnestly desire to walk on the water.
I trust in you that if u says so, I can surely walk on the water.
Unless u tell me to come on the water, I won’t even touch these waters.
And it is not for a show off that I desire to walk on the water, but is to come to you.
“Come," he said.
Now that is a simple statement. There are no clauses, no fine prints, no ifs/buts/whys, no questions, no crosschecks on objectives, no fool proofing, no precautions, and no conditional explanations. There is just one simple command from the lord to come. Lord is deliberating that yes, I appreciate your desire and here my words proceedeth to make all valleys plain and hills low, to make all those natural laws void and to urge the whole universe to conspire for you. Come over my child and walk on the water.
“Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.”
This is a self explanatory statement. Peter left the comfort and safety of the boat. He decided to suffer the uncertainty of the sea along with Jesus than to savor the certainty of the boat without Jesus. Paul later assures us that such choices are better choices. Leaving the boat and focusing himself on Jesus and his command to come over, Peter started walking on the water. I won’t be able to tell you literally how he felt. But I can assure you that it would be a great experience and a fulfilling endeavor when you see the natural laws bow down before you and the mighty waves of the cruel sea are but washing and petting your feet. The whirly wind which tosses the boat is but a sweet breeze caressing your body. Oh! How much I envy you Peter! And he walked towards Jesus. Naturally he would have looked right into the eyes of the savior. And I am sure Jesus would have smiled such a sweet smile. Isn’t it the first time that I allow one of my natural laws to be broken by a creature? Doesn’t it feel so great to be trusted so complete. He might have even glazed at his father in heaven who was acknowledging the act with a similar smile.
And peter walked towards Jesus. Now that is very very important. Bible doesn’t give you much peripheral reasons why you should walk on water. If you are walking, then it better be towards Jesus. That is what bible says. There could be a thousand co-objectives for you; but nothing should overshadow the main objective. Bible, very seriously, doesn’t allow any confusion on that. It is “towards Jesus” and that is it. And as long as Peters focus was on Jesus, he walked on the water.
“But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink,”
Tell me one good reason why peter should not be afraid. Poor Peter is quite often scolded by ‘Christians’ for being afraid then. But in all your logics, all your reasoning, all you intellect and rationality, is there anything that should have stopped him from being afraid? He saw the winds. Maybe you have walked on the water all your life. Maybe you have focused your sight on Jesus all these years. But there is still a solid possibility that you will suddenly realize there is wind around you. It was not that suddenly wind blew and Peter got afraid. Wind was already hauling there. But Peter missed sensing its presence because his eyes were focused on Jesus and mind was focused on walking on the water. Thus after a few steps, he felt comfortable with the waves tickling his feet, a little complacency brooded in his mind, his gaze shifted a little from Jesus for a better ‘world view’ and he suddenly ‘realized’ he was walking on the water. He ‘realized’ that there is a weird wind hauling around, that it is not ‘normal’ to walk on water, that the laws of nature should not be ‘trampled’ upon. And naturally he got afraid. I don’t find any reason why he should not be afraid. It is this fear that kept humanity safe from all natural calamities all these long. That fear is also natural, normal and very much desirable. Without such a fear humankind would not have survived this far. Thus Peter got afraid.
Now there is a special clause in this new path perfected by Jesus Christ. In Jesus own words it is “as per your belief, so be it to you.” I earnestly presume that God quite often blink away that clause. Otherwise I would not have been here. But a clause is a clause. So whence Peter fluttered in his belief, thence his feet also fluttered and the water could no longer hold him up. The unnatural gave way to natural. And he began to sink.
cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Now this is the key. It is natural that the unnatural may wear off a little. In John’s words: “My little children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin…” then there is a provision for it. And this is the provision. Yet another simple statement with no frills attached. No brainstorming and error deductions. The moment you feel the water is slipping under your feet, the moment you feel the winds are acting weird, heed no more. Cry out! Cry out, “Lord, save me!” The assumptions remain the same and valid.
I acknowledge that you are the Lord.
I acknowledge that you alone can save me now.
I fully believe that if you will, you can save me.
Taking a little creative liberty, I want to touch upon a special aspect of this cry. It is natural that when u cry for help, you look straight into the eyes of the person who can help you. There is no more battles of ego, no more rights vs wrongs, u throw away all those emotional baggage and is just like a toddler looking for help. Peter looked straight into Jesus’s eyes. What could have he saw there? The majesty of Lord Almighty, the authority of the maker of these laws, the deep love which emptied itself. But I am more concerned about what the same Peter saw in the eyes of the same Jesus not very long after this incident. The scenario was totally different. Here the laws bowed down before him in reverence; there he bowed down like a sheep to be slaughtered. Here he stood above the waters ruling the whole nature; there he was under the troubling shadows of a cross nearby. And there “Jesus turned and looked into Peter’s eyes”. Oh! What a statement? What could have Peter saw in those eyes then? The heavy heart of God that, even among those worst of adversities, was proclaiming that I still love you Peter. Peter who has seen the might of god in the eyes of Jesus when he thus stood over those waters couldn’t take the sight of such agony, helplessness and deep passion radiating from those same eyes. And “he went out and wept bitterly”. Who can ever stand such a look? How can any man but shatter down and cry out aloud, “Lord, save me!” The eyes of restoration. Oh! I envy you Peter.
No matter what water you are sinking. No matter how dirty and muddy it is. No matter how stinking it is. No matter how deep it is. No matter how troublesome the sea around you is. No matter how low your fellowman in the boat is thinking about you. No matter how people around you mocks at you for taking such huge risks and now sinking yourself. No matter that it is normal to humans to always forget that you indeed had walked on the waters before you started sinking. No matter what so ever, when you sense the waters slipping beneath your feet, invariably you have to look at Jesus and cry out. This is a huge privilege and provision. And this is the only provision!
“Immediately”
No ‘perfecting’ you with those trials. No letting you gulp a few water so that you will learn a lesson. No ‘human logics’ of teaching the kid the hard way of letting it touch the flame. Its immediate. A self explanatory phrase. Still I thought I will just highlight it.
“Jesus reached out his hand and caught him”
There could be another thousand ways to save Peter. Can’t the Lord of the water ask the water to spit back Peter. Or for that matter any other way. Why Jesus himself should rush to the spot, stretch out his hands and rescue Peter. I would rather add that question to my book of “answer-less questions”. He just chose to do so. The ways of love were always curvilinear to logic and reasoning. But I adore that personal touch in that verse. He could have used another thousand methods to enact this rescue, but he chose to empty himself, come down as a man, a servant, humbled himself in earnest obedience, obedience even unto the death on a cross. And from that cross, he reached out his hands and took me out of the waters. What a savior!
"You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
Don’t even consider that as a scolding. It is not. It is in fact a restoration assurance. Jesus is saying that: ”Oh! Dear dear Peter, I know that you earnestly desired to walk on the water. I saw you walking on the water. I was delighted that these laws of nature bowed before you when you put your whole trust upon me. And don’t u worry about that sinking part. I understand that it is normal for you to doubt and be afraid. Nevertheless you should have fully trusted on me and doubt not. Ain’t I the one who asked you to come over? Ain’t I the ruler and maker of all these laws? Won’t they will bend away before me? Shouldn’t you be trusting me on this? Anyway, its ok kid. But try not to doubt next time”.
“And when they climbed into the boat,”
That is an epilogue to this supernatural event. The word of God is silent on how both of them reached the boat or whether the boat sailed and reached them. Let me indulge in a little more creative liberty. After restoring Peter back on the waters, there are logically only two ways Peter would reach back to the boat. One possibility is that Jesus would carry Peter in his arms. That indeed is a soothing thought, but I don’t thing that was what happened. The second possibility is that Peter walked back to the boat. Now that is wonderful and with full faith and assurance I believe that is exactly what happened. Peter once again walked on the water. He and Jesus chitchatted a little till they reached the boat and then both of them climbed into the boat. That is a classic event of complete restoration. Not only was Peter rescued from his shame of sinking, but was again given the grace to walk on the water. Once again the laws of the nature stood in awe and bowed down before the son of man and his chosen one. Oh! This blessed assurance.
If only our life in this troubled waters of world be like that. It is Gods desire that you should cling all your trust in him and attain the unnatural. That you should walk on the water. Now when you walk so, there is all possibility that we may suddenly get a little wavy with the winds and loss of focus. But don’t you worry too much when the waters act weird beneath your feet. Cast away all your apprehensions, shed away all your egos and cry out! And be assured that there wont be any ‘skewed testing times’. Its gonna be an immediate rescue and restoration. You just have to look into his eyes. Those eyes will speak volumes about a love that emptied itself. He will again whisper to you about your rightful privilege and provisions to totally trust in him. And not only would you be restored so, you will again walk on the water. You will walk on the water with Jesus Christ by your side and will climb into the boat. Sailing through this troublesome waters, one day this boat will reach that beautiful shore. There we shall dwell on a land where there is no sea.
Till then, Bon Voyage.
