As Peter peered out across the sea, wiping the rain from his eyes, he thought – just for a moment – that he saw something. It looked… surely it couldn't be… but it did look like… "Aagh! It's a ghost!" his friends yelled, and cried out in fear. They were terrified!
But even though it looked like a ghost, it wasn't. It was a man. And not just any man. They knew this man; he was their friend. This was Jesus.
"Have courage!" he said. "It's me. Don't be afraid."
This fun, engaging tract, based on Jesus walking on the water in Matthew 14 v 22-33, is suitable for children aged 6-11 at any time of year, but particularly at Halloween.
