We Need a Great Savior -

Peter shouted, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out
His hand and caught Peter.
Matthew 14:30-31

~~~~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 beween us and Jesus is a feat too great for our feet. So 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 is not from ourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast" (Eph. 2:8-9 NIV).
