Jesus Asleep?
By: Eric Gajewski
Matthew 8:23-27 At that time, Jesus got into a boat, and
His disciples followed Him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea,
so that the boat was covered by the waves; but He was asleep. So they came and
woke 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 wind and the
sea, and there came a great calm. And the men marvelled, saying, What manner of
Man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
Let not your heart be troubled. God is still in control both in your
individual lives and with His Church.
There are far too many complaining by raising their voices to God demanding
God end this crisis in the Storm. Be careful
lest you tempt the Lord with your contemptuous tongue. God has a plan and does not answer to man
thus we must continue on until Jesus Himself desires to end the Storm. Which one of us will add a few years to our
lives by worrying about when God “will act” in this crisis? None of us therefore we must continue to
labor on and control what we can control.
Perhaps God knows best? Perhaps even
better than you? Perhaps the more time that
is granted unto man to convert the more actually will? Let us take a look at todays gospel and apply
it to this current crisis in the Church.
