Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?

“A violent squall came up and waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was already filling up. Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. They woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?’ He woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ The wind ceased and there was great calm. Then he asked them, ‘Why are you terrified? Do you not yet have faith?’” (MK 4: 37-40)

Our Lord cares. All His life shows how much He cares. He came to remind us that we are beloved children of God and that we are unconditionally loved, and He will do everything to keep us safe in His love. We always need to know and believe that:

“God so loved the world that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him might have eternal life.”
