Why Waterwalker?
The Concept Behind the Name and Logo
The idea for Waterwalker comes from the book of Matthew in the Bible. Matthew chapter 14, verses 22-33 says:
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. "It's a ghost," they said, and cried out in fear.
But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
"Lord, if it's you," Peter replied, "tell me to come to you on the water."
"Come," he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!"
Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
You will notice that while Peter had his eyes fixed on Jesus, he had faith and could walk on water. However, when Peter turned his focus from Jesus to his circumstances, he became afraid and began to sink.
It's the same for us. To be a waterwalker, have faith in Jesus and keep your eyes fixed on him. No matter how rough the storms of life get, you will not be overcome. Even when you lose focus and start to sink, like Peter, you can cry out to Jesus, "Lord, save me!" and he will come to the rescue.
Waterwalker Publishing seeks to promote faith in Jesus, so that along with the disciples, readers can say to him, "Truly you are the Son of God."
