Matthew 14:29

"Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.”"

Key Reflection

In this passage, Peter's response reflects both his faith in Jesus' identity and his desire for a miraculous demonstration of that faith. Despite the fear that causes him to start sinking, Peter's willingness to step out on the water shows a momentary trust in Christ's command and power.
