Reading:
Matthew 8:23-27
Matthew 8:23-27
Not, “No faith” — little faith. (Those fellows did have something going for them, see?)
“And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish” (25).
They had sufficient faith to go to Jesus.
They had sufficient faith to awake Jesus.
They had sufficient faith to petition Jesus.
But their faith was still little: We perish.
Lord, increase my faith!
Oh, and by the way: notice two other things in this passage:
- “His disciples followed him” (23).
- “And his disciples came to him” (25).
It’s what disciples do!
