Peter Walks on Water

The friends were in their boat at night, rowing across the lake. The wind was blowing hard, and they were tired from rowing.

Then they saw something that made them scream! Someone was WALKING on the water toward them!

'A GHOST!' they yelled.

But it wasn't a ghost. 'Don't be scared!' the person called out. 'It's me, Jesus!'

Peter had an idea. 'Jesus, if that's really you, tell me to come walk on the water too!'

Jesus said, 'Come on!'

Peter climbed out of the boat and put his feet on the water. And guess what? HE WAS WALKING ON WATER! As long as Peter looked at Jesus, he could do it!

But then Peter looked around at the big waves and the strong wind. He got scared. And he started to SINK!

'JESUS, HELP!' Peter shouted.

Right away, Jesus grabbed Peter's hand and pulled him up. 'Why did you stop trusting me?' Jesus asked.

They climbed into the boat together, and the wind stopped. All the friends were amazed. They bowed down to Jesus. 'You really ARE the Son of God!' they said.

This story teaches us something important: when we keep our eyes on Jesus and trust Him, we can do amazing things. Even when things get scary, Jesus is always there to help us!
