Season 2: Only the Messiah Could...
​
​Episode 10: “Jesus Could Walk on Water”
Today’s Bible Bite: Matthew 14:24-33

Video Story:

“The disciples worshiped Jesus. ‘You really are the Son of God!’ they exclaimed” (Matthew 14:33).

After Jesus had spent the entire day with a crowd of people, teaching and healing (the same crowd He fed supper with just five pieces of bread and two small fish), it was time for Him to take a break. While He went up into the hillside to pray, He sent the disciples across the lake. But the wind picked up and the disciples were having a hard time of it. Jesus came out to them, not in a boat, but walking on water.
​

The disciples were scared; they thought He was a ghost (wouldn’t you?). Jesus assured them it really was Him and Peter asked if he could walk on water too. Jesus told Peter to come over to him. While Peter was looking at Jesus he did fine, but as soon as he saw the huge waves he became frightened and began to sink. Peter panicked, “Save me!” Jesus rescued him and got them both safely into the boat. The disciples had just one thing to say, “You really are the Son of God!”

Think about it...
  • After an exhausting day of working with people, Jesus took time to pray. Why?
  • When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water they freaked out! What would you have done?
  • Peter was pretty brave to try to walk on water too. Why did he end up sinking?
  • It would be really cool to be able to walk on water. Would you have been brave enough to get out of the boat and walk on water with Jesus?​

Prayer: Thank you, God, that you proved Jesus really was the Messiah. We know that He can help because He loves us and there isn’t anything He can’t do. Help us to always trust you and not get distracted by the things that happen around us that might cause us to doubt you.
