The focus that often comes from this story is how Peter took his eyes off Jesus, got into his own head, and started to worry and therefore started to sink in the water. Sometimes the focus is also on that Peter was the only one out of the disciples that actually had the courage to get out of the boat and even attempt the walk on water which took an immense amount of faith in itself. How many times do we say, either in our thoughts or out loud, \u201cJesus, if You are real or if this is from You, show me.\u201d and Jesus is saying \u201cCome!\u201d but we don\u2019t have the courage or the faith to step out of the boat because we want something guaranteed, a life jacket, before we make that step?
