"Walk on Water" - 24 x 30 inches acrylic on canvas
This painting draws its inspiration from Matthew 14:22-33, where Jesus calls Peter to step out of the boat and walk toward Him across the stormy sea. With eyes fixed on Jesus, Peter finds the courage to defy the wind and waves—but as doubt creeps in, he begins to sink. Jesus immediately reaches out His hand, saying, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
In this artwork, Jesus’ feet stride purposefully upon the waters, illuminated by His light—a beacon of His unwavering presence in the midst of life’s turbulence. The waves swirl beneath Him, yet He remains steady having authority over the waters, inviting us to trust Him beyond our own limitations.
A Monarch butterfly gently accompanies this scene, symbolizing transformation, resurrection, and the delicate yet powerful beauty of new life in Christ. Its presence whispers of the Holy Spirit’s work in us, shaping our faith and reminding us that, like the butterfly, we are made to rise above fear and emerge transformed.
“Walk on Water” invites us to step out of the boat of our comfort zones and into the adventure of trusting Jesus. Even when doubt causes us to stumble, His hand is always outstretched, ready to lift us up. The Monarch butterfly reminds us that the journey of faith is a process of transformation—an invitation to let go, to trust, and to walk confidently in His grace.
