Peter may have gotten out of the boat nearly 2000 years ago, but Jesus' invitation still stands today. But what is waiting on the other side could just be a lot of water and very little chance of remaining above it. As Jesus' followers, we can follow His calling, but can we walk on water? To walk on water means to: face our fears and not allow others to have the last word in our lives; discover God's calling for your life and follow it for the rest of your life; and, experience God's power in your life in order to achieve what wasn't possible in your own strength. Christ walked on water successfully. There's only one thing that you need to do before you can walk on water successfully: You need to get out of the boat!
