Fear- the thing to fear

Isaiah 43:1-7

1. Why need we not fear?

The Lord says, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I give Egypt for your ransom, Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west."

Matthew 14:25-33

2. Why did Peter sink?

Peter was at first with faith to walk on water with Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and fearful and, beginning to sink, cried out, "Lord, save me!".
