Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Trust in Jesus”: In today’s Gospel, the disciples were in grave danger of being drowned; in a storm. And, Jesus was asleep in the same boat. Ponder on, “If we were in the same boat, would we trust Jesus totally; and believe that we would not drown because He is with us? Or, would we doubt Jesus and panic; and seek “false securities”?
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 8:23-27
Jesus got into the boat followed by his disciples. Suddenly a storm broke over the lake, so violent that the boat was being swamped by the waves. But he was asleep. So they went to him and woke him saying, ‘Save us, Lord, we are lost!’
And he said to them, ‘Why are you so frightened, you who have so little faith?’ And then he stood up and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. They were astounded and said, ‘Whatever kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him?’
