Jesus points out that following him is not going to be easy and there are no special concessions. Jesus is teaching his disciples and ultimately his followers about what following him is all about. This was an issue for the early Christians who were experiencing the persecutions who wondered why God allowed these terrible things to happen to His people. The Scriptural passage from Mark 4:35-41, Matthew 8:23-27, and Luke 8:22-25 which describes the disciple in a boat during the storm. The disciples in desperation, wake Jesus up and say to him “Do you not care”. According to scholars the early persecuted Christians struggled to understand why God appeared to have abandoned them during their time of need.
God does not always calm the storms in our lives. I wish I knew why. I do know that our faith can be a source of resilience and personal growth in the face of tragedy. There has been significant research on spirituality and religious belief that I would like to discuss with you.
