 From his boat in the storm Peter immediately recognises Jesus as the one who saves and so jumps out into the sea to reach Him, but when faced with the gale Peter’s faith falters, he looks down at his feet and begins to sink - but he does not drown. Peter then calls out to the Lord with renewed faith and is saved. Even though overcome by doubt Peter realises no one else could help him and so is moved to a stronger faith. There are lessons here for us all.
