Christ Walking on the Waters Julius Sergius Von Klever
“But, when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and cried out. They had all seen him and were terrified. But at once he spoke with them, ‘Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid!’ He got into the boat with them and the wind died down. They were completely astounded. They had not understood the incident of the loaves.”
Jesus performed not one, but two very powerful miracles that day. Nothing like this had ever been seen before. Indeed, we might have reacted the same way if we had seen these miracles first hand. One thing to note about the disciples though, is that they were not perfect people. Their love for Christ was imperfect.
The last sentence of the gospel says something that is quite out of character for Jesus’ disciples. It says, “their hearts were hardened.” This is not mentioned in the gospels of Saint Matthew, or Saint John. In fact, all three accounts of Jesus walking on the water are very different from one another. Saint John claims that as soon as Jesus got in the boat, it immediately arrived at the other shore. Saint Matthew gives the account of Saint Peter trying to walk on the water and when he became afraid, he started sinking. Christ had to save him.
These “imperfect” accounts of Jesus walking on the water give credible testimony that it really happened though, because we actually are imperfect human beings. Eye witness accounts always vary. The events are remembered quite differently, even today, when the police interview people who witnessed a crime, especially after a period of time has passed. However, when multiple witnesses say the same thing, even if interpreted differently, it is taken as the truth.
