Where
is your faith?
Luke 8:22-25
On the boat, major storm, raining cats and dogs. But…….but
Jesus was sleeping. What to do? Disciples were terrified. They tried their best
to save themselves, after all they were fishermen and they knew what it looks like
to be in the storm. Finally, they lost the battle and cried out to Jesus with frustration and fear.
“Master, Master, we’re going to drown!” Jesus rebuked the storm and everything was back to normal. But one thing that was not normal is the expression of all the disciples. They were all in awe!!!!! To add to their misery Jesus rebuked them, “Where is your faith?”
The question is what kind of faith that
Jesus is talking about? Was Jesus asking about their failure in keeping faith
regarding miracle that Jesus will calm the sea?
Or is it that they have to keep the faith that Jesus will save them no
matter what?
1)So
many people wanted to see new president after last year’s election.2)Same sex marriage issue to be resolved by Supreme Court.
3)Abortion laws to become stricter and stricter.
We are all praying for these things. We keep FAITH for
God's miracle on these issues. But is this really we want? Do we just want
superficial transformation by the political leadership? Will we be happy if
this kind of things happen? Will this country be in better place if the Supreme Court
says same sex is unconstitutional?
No, I guess not. I think Jesus will still tell us “Where
is your Faith?
We want total transformation. We want heart transformation. Jesus told Nicodemus “You need
to be born again” that’s what Jesus is looking for. When that will happen
all the issues will be resolve automatically.
Let us pray for America with FAITH that God may bring
transformation of hearts in this country. Let us ask our Lord that God may
bring people back to Jesus.
