PLEASE, LISTEN TO ME! Here is the truth..
‘O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?”
was NOT in response to Peter’s sinking.
It was not a jab to his faltering. Christ was not making a negative comment
to make him to feel bad about his efforts, missteps or shortcomings.
It was an immediate & loving response to Peter’s pleadings to be saved!
“Lord, save me!” —“Wherefore didst thou doubt?” As if saying, ‘of course I will save you, rescue you!
How could you doubt that.
I am right here. I am out here with you. My hand has never shortened.
Did you really think I was going to let the storm hurt you?
Did you really think I would let you sink?’
