Did Peter fail?

Yes, I believe Peter did fail. When doubt happens, you fail. Though it is hard to say if anybody did really walk on water, this is where my beliefs come into play “Ye of little faith.” I am of little faith.

You are climbing a rock face with your friend “Jimmy,” the supposed expert. Jimmy is higher up and has reached a ledge where the two of you plan to take a little break before you continue your journey. He is safely secured to the ledge and you are safely tethered to him. So, you’re a bit behind, hanging on the rock face, trying to decide how you got talked into this. You reach up for a hand hold, loose rock, so you try another; this one feels a bit more secure. As you pull your weight, the rock gives l

. . .

There’s a hold right there, just to the right. Peter should have said, “What is going to happen? Are we going to be ok?” Peter didn’t doubt his savior; he was scared. This breaks your confidence, and you can’t stop the thought of how you’re going to die, right here on this rock face while he makes it look so easy. I think Peter was confused and scared. ”

“Ye of little faith, that’s the one I used.

Did Peter fail? Yes, we all would!

. Another bad choice, “Rock Down!” you yell again. ” Jimmy pauses, waiting for you to see the hand hold. I think if Peter were to get to a place where Jesus thought, “he’s going to pass;” That’s it game over, he’ll pull your “controller” out. How can you fail something you’re not supposed to pass? If you don’t pass and you weren’t supposed too, didn’t you, in all actuality, pass?

In Peter’s case, so what, he was startled by the wind, “Lord save me,” Peter says. I think that Jesus was testing him and no matter what, Peter would have sunk into the water. Now you look for another place to grab onto, to get to your bittersweet reward -the break.

While ignoring his comment you reach for another hand hold, again it is a bad choice, another rock down. He was in the middle of a lake, standing on water, with a storm brewing about.
