Pastor Wilson Reminds Us to Press Close to Jesus Through the Storm

How can we press close to #Jesus during these times of uncertainty? In this video, Pastor Ted Wilson reminds us of a story in the Bible when the disciples put their trust in Jesus through the storm. Since the start of #COVID-19 our world has turned upside down and grown more unstable and uncertain. Just about everywhere we turn we see unease, unrest, and uncertainty. Things don’t seem to be getting better, and many hearts are filled with anxiety, fearful about what lies ahead. While times and situations may change, fear and anxiety are not new. Tracing back into history 2,000 years ago, we can see it in the faces of Christ’s #disciples and hear it in their voices as they are sure they are going to drown in the Sea of Galilee. It had been a fairly normal day, filled with activity as Jesus taught and healed the many people who crowded around Him. But now it was time to leave and get some much-needed rest. The evening was calm and pleasant as Jesus and the disciples stepped into the wooden boat. Soon, Jesus was fast asleep in the back of the boat. Quickly, however, everything changed. Deep darkness spread across the sky as the wind swept wildly down the mountain gorges along the eastern shore, causing a fierce tempest to suddenly burst upon the lake. The disciples were terrified. It was so dark they could no longer see Jesus. And their voices were drowned out by the terrible storm. Where was Jesus? Had He forsaken them? Absorbed by trying to save themselves, they rowed harder, and forgot about Jesus. It was only as a lightning bolt lit up the sky that they saw Jesus, asleep in the back. He was there in the boat with them the whole time. Amazed, they woke Him up and in despair cried out, “Master, don’t you care that we are perishing?” Instantly, the storm stops. Imagine it. Suddenly, the Sea is calm again. And so are the amazed disciples. We are indeed in the midst of a storm—a storm of uncertainty and fear. But we know that an even greater storm is coming. As we go through these turbulent, unpredictable, and even frightening times, let’s press close to Jesus, knowing that He is with us in the storm and wants to teach us valuable lessons of faith and trust right now, which will help us now and in the future. 00:00 Greetings
