| WE NEED A GREAT SAVIOR |

14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth [his] hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? We come to Christ in an hour of deep need. We abandon the boat of good works....We realize, like Peter, that spanning the gap between us and Jesus is a feat too great for our feet. S we beg for help. Hear his voice. And step out in fear, hoping that our little faith will be enough....
Faith is a desperate dive out of the sinking boat of human effort and a prayer that GOD will be there to pull us out of the water. Paul wrote about this kind of faith....:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith ----and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of GOD---not by works, so that no one can boast"(Eph/ 2:8-9 NIV).
