Where Is Your Faith?
After rebuking the storm, Jesus also rebukes his disciples with the
question, "Where is your faith?" They had seen him heal the sick and
cast out demons. But when they returned to the dangers of the
environment where they conducted their livelihood, the waters of this
inland lake, they seemed to suddenly forget Jesus' power, and who he
seemed to be. Instead, they wake him in panic and ask him if he even
cares what is happening to them.
How easily we can compartmentalise our lives, one compartment is the
church and Christianity, another is our family, a third is our work and
so on. To keep our self from sinking, there is a door that
separates each compartment from each other compartment. Our
Christian faith is often kept within the confines of what we do in
church on Sunday. We take off our Christian badge when we leave
church and in our homes and work we only occasionally refer to our
faith.
Sometimes, overwhelmed and near to capsizing in events in our lives
we don’t think to call upon the power of God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus' question, "Where is your faith?" might be just as well directed
towards us today. Our Christian faith is the bedrock of everything we
say, think and do. It should inform, guide and direct us in every part
of our life whether at church, home or work.
