You must walk on water, especially if you don’t know how to swim.

About This Quote

In the Gospel of Mark, some of Jesus’ followers are arguing about who should be considered a prophet. One of those men says he is a prophet because he can do magic tricks. Mark sarcastically replies that Jesus is the only one who can do magic tricks. The disciples must have been thinking, “This guy has no idea what he’s talking about.

He’s just a nut case.” Jesus then tells them to go and find a man who knows how to swim and tell him to go and catch fish in the lake. The disciples had no idea how they were supposed to go about doing something so difficult, so they asked Jesus for help. And, of course, Jesus told them to follow him and show him how they could follow him.

As Jesus explains it, you can’t walk on water without knowing how to swim (Luke 6:49-50). It seems like a potentially impossible task, but it is possible if you know your limitations and stay focused on God.
