fear of..... (Matthew 14:26-33)

When the disciples were in the boat, Jesus walked on the water... they were scared of different things at different points during this episode... with different results

fear of the spiritual world (v26)......result.....cried out in fear (26b)
fear of the Lord (v28).......result..........walking on water (v29)
fear of the natural world (v30a)......result.......sinking (v30b)

I don't need to tell you which we should do, the results do that themselves

N.B there may be two others going on in this passage... (v24, v32-33) but have not worked that out yet..............
