storms

Gently rebuking His disciples, Christ asked, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" (Mark 4:40). In effect, He was saying, "Why didn't you face the storm victoriously and shout to the raging winds and rolling waves, 'You cannot harm us, for Christ, the mighty Savior, is on board'?"

Christ said, "Let us go over to the other side"--not "to the middle of the lake to be drowned."  --Daniel Crawford
