“If You Want to Walk on Water, You’ve Got to Get out of the Boat. That was

the title, some years back, of a popular book written by John Ortberg. And

the title reflects what is surely the most common take on this story. Peter

had the right idea getting out of the boat, and stepping out on faith…Like

Peter, we must heed this invitation, find the courage needed to swing our

legs out over the boat’s side, and then step out into the waters…But

something tells me this won’t do.”
