~ Lack of Faith Leads to Useless Fear ~
Passage ~ “Now when Jesus got into a
boat, His disciples followed Him. And
suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with
the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him,
saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ But He said to them, ‘Why are you fearful, O you of
little faith?’ Then He arose and
rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, ‘Who can this
be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?’” (Matthew 8:23-27).
Comment ~
Jesus is the Master of the winds, the waves, and all of Creation. The clear implication of the Master’s words
in this passage is that the disciples fear was a result of a lack of
faith.
