"You of little faith".... huh? you're talkin to me?

You ever wonder what the heck the disciples were thinking? I mean, they spent roughly three years with Jesus, who by the way, is God in human form.... AND THEY STILL HAD A HARD TIME BELIEVING HE WAS WHO HE SAID HE WAS!! I don't know about you but if i was with this guy who was being followed around by masses of people all day everyday, i would think that something was a little different about him than most people.

They saw him heal the blind, raise Lazarus from the dead, saw him in His true form on the mountain while He was having "small talk" with Elijah and Moses. They saw Him freakin walk on water, they saw Him get arrested (like He said it was going to happen), they saw Him get beaten and crucified (which He also said was going to happen), and they saw Him rise from the grave on the third day (which He also said would happen). And yet, after all of this most of them still didn't believe He was the Messiah, Emmanuel, "God with us". And one of them still didn't believe... and by the way he got busted (probably one of the funniest yet serious things i've ever read). John 20:24-31 go read it. it's pretty awesome.

One of my favorite guys out of the disciples has got to be Peter. Peter was "that guy" in every sense of the phrase. He was always saying stuff along the lines of "if you are who you say you are then..." to Jesus. One of my favorite times that he did this was right after Jesus had fed the 5,000. (food for thought: He freakin fed 5,000 people (not counting women and children) and the disciples were still blinded to the fact that He turned 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish into enough for all of them. He does stuff like this everyday, just not in a way like feeding 5,000 people. He answers prayers that seem un-answerable and does things that seem un-doable and yet we're all still blind t0 the fact He's God). He told the disciples to go ahead and sail for another town and He would catch up. Late that night Jesus comes strolling up to the boat like He's walking on the sidewalk without a care in the world.

All the disciples go freakin nuts... and i know that i would too if i saw some guy walking on water in the middle of a storm. But Jesus says to them don't be afraid it's me. Cue Peter! On point Peter says " Lord if its you, tell me to come to you on the water." Jesus says come on out here buddy (not really like that but you get it). So Peter gets out of the boat and WALKS on water.

BUT!!! (i always hate that word as soon as the plot thickens). Peter looks around and gets scared... completely forgetting he's walking on water with Jesus... and he begins to sink. And here comes one of the most famous verses "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

How many times has He said it to you? He's said it to me everyday of my life. He looks me dead in the eye and says "Hunter, why the heck do you doubt me? Am i not good enough for you? did i not create everything so that you could see My glory so you would have proof that I am the great I AM?" IT really gets you thinking don't it?
