Peter Walks on the Water

So after reading the story to us from Matthew 14, Pastor asks the school-children, "Could Peter walk on the water?"

Hannah answered, "No."

"Why not, Hannah?"

"He was a sinner.  He sunk."

But Joey's hand was still raised.  He answered, "Yes, Peter could walk on the water."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because Jesus told him to.  And whatever Jesus says, happens."



Perfect.
They're both right!
In our own strength, we can't do nuthin'.
But whatever Jesus says, happens! 
If He says "walk on the water," Peter could do it.
If He says "I declare you holy and righteous," then we be holy and righteous, no matter what it looks like to us.
