00:00the chibi news daily reflection hi my name's andy and i'm a vicar in the church of england
00:10there's a ride at alton towers called oblivion a slightly discouraging name and on this ride
00:17you reach a point where you're perched above a vertical drop just before plunging downwards
00:24into what looks like solid concrete splattered with blood it's actually red paint but as you're
00:30perched before you're hurt or downwards a disembodied voice booms out don't look down
00:39we've been thinking this week about invitations another invitation of jesus comes to the disciple
00:47peter a seasoned fisherman in the midst of a violent storm on lake galilee at 3 a.m in the morning
00:56jesus mysteriously appears in the midst of spraying noise walking on the water and he invites peter to
01:04risk to get out of the boat and come to him on the water it's not in the text in matthew chapter 14
01:12but i imagine jesus saying and whatever happens peter keep your eyes on me and don't look down
01:20peter stepped out his eyes were focused he did well he took steps on the water but fear caught him
01:27and he began to sink when we step out and risk where we set our gaze is critical
01:35god is faithful just don't look down
