Jesus walks on Water during a Storm


Jesus walks on the Water during a Storm

There is a story in the Holy Bible where Jesus walks upon the water.  In the story Jesus has feed thousands miraculously on one side of the Sea of Galilee.  Then he stays on that side for some alone time to pray.  He sends his Disciples to the other side, by boat.  

Then when apparently they are trying to come back at night to get Him they see him waling on water.  Then Peter tries to walk on water and is successful at first, but the sea is rough so he gets frightened and starts to sink... so Jesus saves him.  When Jesus gets to the boat the storm or stormy seas immediately calm.  

Since Jesus was and is the Son of God and the Creator of the Earth, it makes sense that He could do miracles like walk on water and calm the stormy sea.  Since He made the Earth it would make total sense that He would be able to control the elements of the Earth.  Although His mother was a mortal, Mary, His Father was our Heavenly Father and that made Jesus part mortal and part God.  

Because of this dual nature He could suffer and die for our sins and.... His spirit could go back into His body and he could become resurrected.  He had power over life and death.  He was a willing sacrifice for sin, not just a victim of the cruelty of the then leaders of Jerusalem.  People who are not Christians don't understand that.  They think Jesus was a helpless victim.  In fact, Jesus could have used his divine power to stop the crucifixion at any time.  He was an all powerful God.   And again, walking on water shows a bit of His power. 

IF your are wondering about the moon and the couple of stars in the drawing. . . the Bible says this happened at night.
