The DL on Doubt

Raising people from the dead. Healing the sick. Giving the blind sight. Walking on water! How did Jesus get to do these things? I mean he was flesh and blood just like we are. And I'm sure that flesh and blood then was the same as it is now, so why can't we do any of these cool things. Well it was necessary for Jesus to heal all of these people and walk on water and come back to life. And I believe that Jesus believed that without any doubt in his mind that the LORD was going to give him the ability to do what needed to be done at that time. This absolute faith was what allowed Jesus to do these absolutely amazing things. Peter is a great example of how we are today. When he saw Jesus walking on the water he said "If you are who you say you are then tell me to come to you" Jesus told him to come and Peter got out of that boat and began to walk on water towards Jesus. But then, he saw the wind and the waves. He began to focus more on the world around him than Jesus. Seeing the world around him and focusing on it dwindled down his faith and his focus and he began to sink. He called for Jesus to save him and when Jesus did he said "you of little faith" Peter began to lose focus and he lost his faith as a side-effect. Face it people, without faith in your LORD and without faith in yourself you will keep sinking just like Peter did.
