On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson talk about the story of Christ walking on the water. Reminiscent of Moses' encounter with God in the rock, and Elijah's encounter with God on the mountain, in this text, Jesus walks on water with the intention to pass by the disciples in the boat. Not only is this a revelation of Jesus' divine identity, but is also accompanied by God's promise, "Be not afraid." We learn how fear turns to faith only when the explicit promise of God is given.
