In the Old Testament, the hero in the Book of Daniel received God’s promise of freedom from Babylonian captivity and had visions of the Father, the Son of Man (Jesus), and heaven. Later, three of the Disciples witnessed the Transfiguration of the Lord, who appeared to them in heavenly glory. Begged by a Canaanite woman to cure her daughter, Jesus mimicked the wrong-hearted opinion that helping her would be like throwing food meant for children (Israelites) to the dogs (Gentiles). She persisted, and Jesus worked the miracle. Peter tried to walk on water toward the Lord, became frightened, and started to sink. If we have a sinking feeling, do we grab hold of faith as our lifeline?
