Great Surfers of the Bible

Who are some of the Greatest Surfers of the Old Testament? If we read the real Bible, the Authorized King James Version, we can learn this important truth in the following passages:

We read about the great surfer, Isaac, in Genesis 26:13.

Jehoshaphat, that wonderful surfer, is spoken of in II Chronicles 17:12.

Mordecai, man of honor and a great surfer, is described in Esther 9:4.

We know that all three of them must have been great surfers, because we are told that they "waxed great".

In the New Testament, the Greatest Surfer of all time is without any question whatsoever, Jesus Himself. We read that Jesus walked on water. (When was the last time you stood up on a wave without a board?)

We know that Peter was a fairly good surfer, too. He walked on water like Jesus did, although Peter wiped out fairly quickly.

Other notable surfers include the Apostle Paul and his companions. In Acts 27:44 we learn that, after their shipwreck, some of them surfed to shore on planks.

When I’m out there riding the waves and I get in trouble, I’m sure glad that I can turn to Jesus like Peter did, and cry out "Lord, save me!"
