Commentary on the Gospel of
Storm in a Teacup
Let’s debate:
I say: “Who wouldn’t be afraid in such storm? Weren’t the disciples human?”
You say: “But Jesus is in the boat with the disciples. Why be afraid?”
I say: “But He is asleep. How does he know?”
You say: Is it not written, “I slept, but my heart was awake”? (Song 5:2)
I say: “Then he should have done something.”
You say: “He is the Word that created the world!”
I say: “But in sleep, isn’t the Word silent?”
Men of little faith! Why did they doubt? At the end of it all, everything turned out to be a mere storm in a teacup (or tempest in a teapot, if you prefer.). For, even in his sleep, he knows; even in his silence, he commands. We can rest assured.
