Christ Is Never Far Away

When Peter began to sink, his Saviour was not far away. Immediately He put out His hand and grasped him. 

How far Peter had walked upon the water the narrative of Scripture does not tell us. 

Shall we say fifty yards, or shall we say a hundred yards?--it matters not whether fifty or a hundred. 

If the nearest human hand was fifty yards away, the hand of Christ was not fifty yards away; immediately He put forth His hand and helped him.

My brother, just beginning to sink, will you remember that Christ is at your side?

All human help may seem very far away; remember that He is not very far away. He is near you now; near you where you sit.

You need Him sorely and He is there for you. 

Cry out now, "Lord, save me, or I perish," and He will do it to the uttermost for you.
