Reading the title of this article, I’m sure many Christian minds will go to Peter’s “Great Confession” in Mat.16:16. I am not speaking of his grand doctrinal statement, but rather a practical declaration each of us needs to make before the world, as well as our brethren. Those among us who hold positions of influence need especially to affirm this fact loud and clear.
And what is this major acknowledgement? It is simply the declaration that, “I CANNOT WALK ON WATER.” We need to affirm to all that we are not “Super Saints.” There is no giant “S” on the front of whatever attire we may be wearing. Neither do we possess a monogrammed cape enabling us to soar above the common man. We are men of like passions as they are, and we dare not ever forget it. For to do so means God will needs clip our artificial wings to bring us back down to earth.
Heavenly people are to be humble, not haughty!
