The Teeth of the Storm (Matthew 14:22-33)

August 09, 2020 / DBCC

According to the text, Jesus says to him, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

Generally, we’re tempted to interpret this as a scolding, as Jesus' annoyance with Peter for not keeping his eyes on the one who walks on water.

And yet, it may not be a scolding at all. It sounds so much more like pleading: "How could you not know it was me? How could you not believe that as you walked into the terrifying darkness that there was a hand to hold you up? The hand that formed creation from chaos, the hand that brought forth water from the rock, is the hand that reaches out to you as you walk into the teeth of the storm."
