Verse from Mark

 “然后对他们说：“为甚么这样胆怯呢？你们怎么没有信心呢？””

‭‭马可福音‬ ‭4:40‬ ‭

“He said to His disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?””

‭‭Mark‬ ‭4:40‬ ‭

Jesus’ disciples experienced the profound power of fear. Once, as they headed across the Sea of Galilee (Mark 4:35), “a furious squall came up” (v. 37). Terror gripped them, and they suggested that Jesus (who’d been sleeping!) might not care about them: “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” (v. 38).

Fear distorted the disciples’ vision, blinding them to Jesus’ good intentions for them. After He rebuked the wind and waves (v. 39), Christ confronted the disciples with two penetrating questions: “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” (v. 40).

Storms rage in our lives as well, don’t they? But Jesus’ questions can help us put our fears in perspective. His first question invites us to name our fears. The second invites us to entrust those distorted feelings to Him—asking Him for eyes to see how He guides us even through life’s most raging storms
