Resurrection Day

I am sitting here working on my sermon for Sunday and I find it interesting that as I look back over the past ten years of sermons I've only preached on the actual resurrection on Resurrection Sunday three times. This year is no different, as we continue in our series on Matthews Gospel we look at the story of Jesus walking on the water.

This is a foreshadowing of the resurrection though as Jesus illustrates for the disciples not only His divine power over nature yet again, but His perfect grace as He reaches out and rescues Peter who was sinking into the waves in need of a Savior.

Sometimes that reminder is all we need to make it, other times we need the waves to slap us in the face a little to remind us of who is actually doing the saving...
