Jesus walking on Water


Jesus walking on Water


When Jesus learned that His cousin, John the Baptist had been executed he went up into the mountains to pray.  His disciples took or sailed a boat to the other side of the Sea of Galilee to Capernum.   But Jesus came to them while they were still like 6 km from shore.  They were scared at first.  They called Him the Son of God.  Jesus being the creator of the world could command the elements.  The story goes that Peter went out to Jesus and seeing the waves and wind started to loose his faith and started to sink until Jesus reached out to save him.   I think before we are critical of Peter we need to see how far we can walk on water.   I think Peter was amazing.   

 I want to admit that this drawing should have a bigger ship and probably 12 instead of just two apostles in it.  In any case, it shows the ship and I choose to show a fishing net hanging over the side.  It does not appear to be in the water though.   Jesus and the two disciples' hair is blowing in the wind,  I think I'll do a more scripturally correct version of this event at "Religion" and below the Old Testament list of drawings.   It is also near the bottom of "All Printables".
