One of the most memorable narratives in the Gospels was Jesus walking on the water. The scene evoked multiple themes in Christian spirituality: fear and doubt in times of stress, an encounter with the divine in the midst of the stress, peace after the troubles pass. The flow of the narrative matches our life experiences. Bad times do end; God is with us even in the darkest moments.
