While the story of Jesus and Peter walking on water in Matthew 14 doesn't directly discuss worship, the truths imparted by the powerful story show us the way forward in all our life, including in worship. Jesus' power over all things is a given, and He imparts some of that power to Peter when the apostle is focused on Jesus. The storm is still raging around the fisherman. Jesus hasn't lessened it one bit. But because of Peter's sole focus on Jesus and His Call to him, the disciple is sure enough walking on water. It's when Peter focuses not on Jesus but on the storm that he begins to sink.
That the takeaways from this story are obvious makes them no less significant. Added to the role of focusing our eyes on Jesus in all of life is the application in our approach to worship - either in person or joined with a faith community virtually in these times. Similar to our past discussions, this story reinforces that our time with Christ's body isn't about What's In It For Me but rather all about Him. He's got the power.
