Matthew 8:23-27

Matthew 8:23-27 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! The disciples were in a difficult place in the middle of a great storm. They were worried, but Jesus wasn’t. Actually Jesus was getting some sleep! But they disciples woke Jesus up afraid that they were going to drown. Silly disciples! Was Jesus, the very Son of God in danger of drowning? Absolutely not! And as long as the disciples were in the same boat as Jesus was, they would never drown either! They forgot to trust Jesus just like we forget to trust Jesus too. They shouldn’t have worried and we shouldn’t worry either! And just like Jesus reminded his disciples to trust in Him, we should trust in Jesus too! Silly us!
