Mark 4:35-41
The Gospel Reading places us in a boat battling to stay afloat during a bad storm. Incredulously, Jesus remains asleep, resting comfortably in the care of the Father who keeps careful watch over Him and His mission. At the disciples’ insistence, Jesus awakens and commands the furious gale to quiet and be still. Of course, we know the real raging storm Jesus came to silence is the chaos of our sin which He will tame in His death on the Cross.
