Jesus walked on the water

[QuaestorRexRegis]

When the storm was bad, how was it that Jesus was not rocked?  Did he stand in the water or on the water?  Was He wet when He got into the boat?

Water is wet.  Jesus was in/on the water.  Jesus Got wet.....................although the Bible does not say for sure.

I think most Christians would agree that when the Son of God

came to dwell in human flesh... He was both fully human and fully divine.

Fully human in that he saw, touched, heard, tasted, and felt everything that we do.

Therefore it is reasonable to say that Jesus got wet when he walked on the water.

What is more important about the story of Jesus walking on the water is that he invited Peter...who was entirely human

( and not one bit divine ).... to come and walk with him on the water. Does anyone have any doubts that Peter got wet ?

Not only did Peter get wet but he also heard and felt the waves rushing about him...and he experienced fear. Jesus was right there in the midst of the waves and the wind and the doubt and the fear with Peter. Jesus... was Peter's rescue from the fear and doubt...and the water.

Jesus put on mortal flesh to die for our sins...he experienced the pain of the cross, and the weight of our sins upon his human flesh as he died for us...

If he did this all, it seems to me there should be not question in our minds that he was willing to get a little wet to teach Peter about faith.

The son of God, clothed in mortal flesh,  walked on the water.

I believe he got soaked  !

When we are surrounded by turmoil, we have the peace that Jesus left us in our hearts. We don't have to be tossed and turned like the world. Everything can be chaotic around us, but we have the Rock to stand on. We can be at peace. So, in this light, no I don't think that Jesus got wet at all. I think the boat was tossing to and fro, the winds whipping the waves up to many feet high, maybe even higher that Jesus. But I think that the area in which He was standing was calm. And when Peter looked out from around them and saw how high the waves were all around them, he became afraid and sunk into the water. Jesus of course pulled him back up on top of the water and back into the calm. When they got to the boat it became still at the boat. It's always calm with Jesus.

excellent words one and all - but this is not a Sunday School lesson here - put some things together for me -

first: 1 Corinthians 10:2.  any clues?

what really happened at the Red Sea?

big step of faith here (I won't give anything else away, yet) - you all have hearts for God -

[Adstar]

Was it the red sea? or was it the reed sea?

I have heard evidence that it was the reed sea that they passed through. At the time they passed a volcanic Island in the Mediterranean blew up causing a tidal wave, before a tidal wave the sea will recede for a short time before the wave strikes. This is what seems to have happened when Moses crossed.

Then again It could have been the red sea Whatever it was it was a miracle.

If the bible says the red sea parted then the red sea parted

If the bible says Jesus walked on the water then he walked on the water.

As far as the comment about Sunday School I am not sure what you are referring to...

And if we are to consider what the question asked...namely...did Jesus get wet...?...we must consider all that we know from the bible about the event and about the nature of Christ at the time of the event.

Was it the red sea? or was it the reed sea?

Those look real similar - in English.

Actually Jesus had a surf board...

Really.. QRR.. what is the point of this question?

[QuaestorRexRegis]

FC, I think I must be unnerving you about me - I hope you don't get mad at me, I appreciate your inputs

If in Hebrews it says that Israel walked "as though" they walked on dry land - I would think that meant that they did not walk on dry land.  Instead, I see the anointing that came upon them as opening their eyes to a spiritual pathway that they could transverse.  The anointing was so great that Egypt was able to follow - until Moses was used to remove that anointing, and their eyes were reopened to the natural realm.  

What happened to Peter?  He took his eyes off of Jesus and onto the storm, and he immediately fell into the natural.

We are called to walk by faith and not by sight.

Do I have to do all the work for you?
