Chapter 14

Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.

During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”

“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”

“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”

Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”

And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. THEN THOSE WHO WERE IN THE BOAT WORSHIPED HIM, SAYING, “TRULY YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD.”

When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and ALL WHO TOUCHED HIM WERE HEALED.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Ah, #36. It certainly is.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou, I hope you finally had a morning free of the internet follies.

[left that other site]

Go check out the J-Thread for the latest “Internet Follies” Chapter. LOL.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Just did. “Boston Woman Conquers Internet”.

[left that other site]

I figured you would enjoy it, since you post a lot of images as well.

You know what it’s like. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Had my own miseries several weeks ago, but for the moment the storm has calmed.

Masterpiece is the right term for Kim’s #39.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Imagine being Kim as the inspiration for it took shape in his noggin.

My take is that the Spirit withheld that inspiration from everyone—hundreds of years passed—until He had developed an artist who would do it justice.

[Hebrews 11:6]

As I was reading my Bible just now, I came across a passage that I think exemplifies your point:

As Pharaoh approached, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians, marching after them. They were terrified and cried out to the LORD. They said to Moses, “Was it because there were no graves in Egypt that you brought us to the desert to die? What have you done to us by bringing us out of Egypt? Didn’t we say to you in Egypt, ‘Leave us alone; let us serve the Egyptians’? It would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!”
Exodus 14

[Red Badger]

And the Moses with God’s help parted the Red Sea, destroyed Pharaoh’s army and they still complained..............

Good Afternoon, Dan! Thanks very much for the Biblical Art - impossible to pick a favorite from such an impressive array.

Yes, Tom, but you can always practice your ambling....

[SisterK]

Thank you!
I am never disappointed to visit here.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Well, “never” is a very long time, but I will try to delay the inevitable.
