Mark 4:40-41
He said to His disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith [not even trust Me?]?" They were terrified, and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him!" --
This was when Jesus had calmed the furious squall that nearly swamped their little boat. He seemed disappointed and dismayed that these men, who had been living with and travelling with Him still didn't understand just who He is. "Having faith" means "trusting in." I have faith to believe a chair will hold my weight, so I sit down on it and it doesn't collapse under my weight. I also trust in Jesus to be true to what He says He will do, so I have faith that He will meet all my needs. Even so, if I saw Him instantly calm a storm, would I be afraid, too?
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
