Matthew
14:31 - And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and
said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
Jesus
had reproof and reprimand for Peter. His lack of faith is what had caused him
to sink. But before Jesus scolded him, He headed Peter’s cry for help and saved
him. Many a time, we see an unbeliever living in sin and want to reprove him of
his sins before he is saved. All the reprimand in the world will not make a
difference if the sinner is not saved and his heart changed. Let us not be so
hasty to rebuke and follow Christ’s example: save the sinner and then reprove
the sin.
