It wasn't Jesus' idea for Peter to leave the boat. That was Peter's own idea. Peter's lack of faith came before he ever left the boat - "Jesus...if it REALLY IS you, then tell me to come." There was his lack of faith from the beginning. I actually think this goes back to your original point. Being in the boat battered by the waves all through the night is scary enough. Peter & the disciples' faith should have been in the notion that Jesus could take care of them right where they were (in the boat...together). Your faith in Christ is such that he can take care of you in the given moment and situation...maybe not somewhere else (though perhaps). Peter was much better off in the community of a boat of disciples than stepping out on his individual own. We need to rely on one another and not seek to fix ourselves on our own. I know I suck at this. Anyway...take this for what you will. I'm too just another faithless follower: "Lord, I believe...help my unbelief." Peace, - J I’m not sure now that Peter was ever supposed to step out of the boat in the first place.
