In this video, we continue our study of Jesus walking on water - or as I correct myself during the lesson - Jesus walking on the "Sea." 

We attempt to look at this story through the metaphor created by the symbols in the story. God uses metaphor to communicate complex concepts to human beings - such as 'God is a rock' or a 'shepherd.' 

When we view the details of this story through the metaphor, we can see an impactful message for our own faith walk. This message is communicated through the telling of Peter getting out of the boat to join Jesus on the water. 

Join us as we conclude this study of this well-known story.

For two thousand years, the story of Jesus walking on water (Mark 645:52; Matthew 14:22-33) has fascinated and perplexed us. How are we to understand the events of that night, and what might be the story's overall meaning?
 
In this and the following lesson, we explore these events through the perspective of Ancient Near East (ANE) symbolism.
 
Throughout the Ancient Near East and the Bible, similar symbols express the chaotic forces that exist in the world.
 
Join us as we take a unique look at this well-known story.
