"Come On" is the invitation. And Peter doesn't have to be asked twice. It's not every day that you are invited to walk on water...through waves that are taller than you. His first few steps go well. But just a few step later and he forgets to look at the one who made the invitation and he plunges....Peter knows he's in trouble and there is only one person who can save him. So he cries out "Jesus Help Me!" You see Peter would rather swallow his pride than water, and the hand of Jesus comes through the rain and pulls him up.
So here it is....
As long as Jesus is one of many options, He is no option. As long as you carry your burdens alone, you don't need a burden bearer. As long as your situation bring you no grief, you will not need to be comforted. And as long as you can take Him or leave Him, you might as well leave him, because He won't be taken half heartedly. Jesus wants us to keep our eyes on Him, to be totally dependent on Him. The question is are you open to Jesus invitation to "Come On"
