Peter Walks on Water (09)

Here Peter, sinking in the turbulent waters, lifts his hands toward Jesus, who firmly grasps him. The disciples in the boat witness the scene, some pointing in awe at the miracle. Jesus’ calm presence amidst the storm symbolizes His divine authority and saving mercy. This Gospel story from Matthew 14 illustrates how faith falters when we are distracted by fear but is restored when we call upon Christ. This coloring page is a wonderful catechesis tool for religion teachers, homeschoolers, and families, especially when teaching about the importance of trust, perseverance, and the power of Jesus to save.
