Summary: Man said, Jesus said.

Matthew 14:26, 27 & 30, 31

(26) When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. (27) But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” (30) But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” (31) Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

When the Disciples of Jesus saw Him walking on water. They have 3 reactions:

a. They were terrified.

b. They said it’s a ghost!

c. They cried out in fear.

Jesus replied to His Disciples with 3 answers:

a. Take courage.

b. It is I.

c. Don’t be afraid.

Always remember brothers & sisters, whatever happens in our lives has the corresponding word of Christ in it.

Let me give you 3 examples:

1. Man said, I cannot forgive myself and my past is always dragging me down.

- Jesus said, You are forgiven and cleansed from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

2. Man said, I have no hope and I am not worthy before you my God

- In (Luke 8:43-48) to the woman who’s bleeding in 12 years who is hopeless and worthless. When she put her Faith on Jesus, she was healed (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually) on the spot and Jesus said to her, daughter live in peace. Jesus wants us to live in peace in any circumstances. If disappointments, distractions, discouragements will come, Jesus said Have Faith in Me and live in peace.

3. Let’s go back to the Disciples of Jesus on (Matthew 14: 26, 27 & 30, 31), The apostle of Jesus said, it’s a ghost, but, Jesus said “It’s me”.

"Did you forgot who I am? Why you are in troubled, am I not real to you, why you are crying out for fear! It’s me (I’m real) How real in your life Jesus is?! Jesus our Lord, God and Savior. Always remember don’t ever-ever forget who’s Jesus in our lives. Whatever man said there is always a corresponding word of Christ in it.

The Lord Jesus not only gives us the word but He keeps it, just like his apostle Peter when he was sinking the Lord Jesus was always there to extend His hand, to rescue, to save, to forgive, to remind us if we are sinking just like Peter.

Thank you Jesus for always being there for us.
