Imagine you are on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. You know that this body of water is prone to storms popping up without warning, you’ve lived and worked around it all your life. It’s the middle of the night and the wind has picked up. Soon it is howling and there are waves crashing into the sides of the boat. You are not afraid, but you are wary and certainly not able to sleep or relax. As you watch the water you think your eyes must be playing tricks on you because there appears to be a man walking towards the boat. This can’t be possible. You are miles from shore. One of your friends shouts that it’s a ghost. The “ghost” answers, “It’s Me. Don’t be afraid.”
So, if you were on that boat, how would you have responded? I often agree with Peter in biblical stories. I can see a lot of myself in him. However, I am pretty sure I would never have said, “oh yeah? Call me out to you.” Listen, I do not like being in or even on water. I prefer to be water adjacent. I love to look at it, but that’s about it unless I need to cool off. When we visited Israel in February of 2019, I was nervous about getting on a boat on the Sea of Galilee. It was a calm day and I tried to picture what it would have been like to look out and see Jesus standing there. It is a very moving experience. It is heavy with significance. But I still wouldn’t have climbed over the side of the boat.
