“Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” (Mark 4:38) As Jesus was sailing a boat with His disciples, He fell asleep despite strong winds and turbulent waves. Was Jesus really not afraid of danger? I don’t think so, because He is a true man. However, He also wanted to let the disciples understand that He is true God as well. Jesus did not absolve His disciples from danger, but He was willing to face the challenge with them. "Why are you so fearful?” That question is for each of us. Jesus promised to be with us everyday. If we really are fearful, we should remember that Jesus is with us in the midst of danger. He knows our feelings and shares in our fear. We might ask: if God absolved us from our trials, will we not be more free and comfortable? However, that is not God’s plan. Jesus said, “If anyone would come after me, he must take up his cross daily.” “Jesus, we trust in you.”
