Title
The Forgetfulness of Sin
Outline
In my daily Bible-in-a year readings, I am reading about Moses’ confrontation with Pharoah
Pharoah saw great works of God; he was also delivered from the effects of his foolishness time and time again
But when the terror of God was absent, he seemed to forget, seemed to try to compromise with God, seemed to want to assert his authority and godship.
The results, as you well know, were disastrous
But Israel would do the same even before they were across the Red Sea
Jesus’ disciples faced the same problem in themselves
They had a problem with 5000 to feed, people who might blame them for their hunger in the deserted area, and Jesus had quietly solved it with, well, almost nothing but his word.
Now they headed across the sea without any preparations - they were going home and were eager to get there.
Jesus, tired from a day’s teaching, falls soundly asleep.
He trusts his Father, so even the storm could not wake him.
But a storm there was and the disciples are terrified when the boats (there had to be more than one) begin to swamp.
I would not be surprised if none of them could swim.
So they wake Jesus: “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
Is there a hint of blaming here?
There is certainly terror and panic.
Jesus simply tells the storm to shut up and comments: “Why are you terrified?
Do you not yet have faith?”
