This painting tells the story from the Bible, in the book of Matthew, chapter 14, verse 25. It is about Jesus walking on the water at the Sea of Galilee. His disciples were out in a boat when a strong wind began to blow, and the waves grew rough. They were afraid as the boat rocked in the dark night.
Jesus came towards them, walking across the surface of the water. The disciples could not believe what they were seeing. At first they were frightened, but then they heard His voice and knew it was Him. This moment shows the divine nature of Jesus. It reminds people that He has power over the wind, the waves, and all of creation.
The painting captures the calm strength of Jesus as He moves across the water. It also shows the fear and wonder of the disciples as they watch Him. This story teaches about faith, courage, and trusting in Jesus even when life feels stormy.
