" Where Is Your Faith?"

The beloved physician records an amazing story in Luke 8:22-25.

He writes of a time when fearsome storm almost sunk the boat in

which Jesus and his disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee.

Jesus was sleeping through the storm, but his disciples awoke him,

saying, "Master, Master, we're going to drown!" (v. 24 NIV).

Jesus miraculously rebuked the storm, and also rebuked his

disciples with these words, "Where is your faith?" (v. 25 NIV).

Isn't Jesus' response to the disciples strange? Isn't it a normal thing

to become frightened while on a storm-tossed boat in the middle of

the sea? How could their fear be interpreted as faithlessness?

Faith isn't some unrealistic and irrational confidence that

everything will be okay, at least, not according to the Bible. In

Habbakuk's day, the people were faithless when they refused to

believe that things were going to get really bad due to God's

judgment (Hab. 1:5). The Bible defines faith as man's trust in

what God has said in his word (Rom. 10:17).

Again, why is the disciples' fear tantamount to faithlessness? An

essential thought in answering that question is found a little later in

Luke's gospel. Luke tells of some Pharisees who warn Jesus,

"Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill

you" (13:31 NIV). Jesus responded, "Go tell that fox, 'I will keep

on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow,

and on the third day I will reach my goal.' In any case, I must

press on today and tomorrow and the next day--for surely no

prophet can die outside Jerusalem!" (vv. 32-33 NIV). Jesus said

that he had no need to fear Herod Antipas who ruled Galilee and

Perea, because Scripture had declared that the prophet like Moses-

-Messiah--would die in Jerusalem (cf. Zech. 12:10-13:1). Thus

Jesus' faith in Scripture's prophesies ruled out fearing Herod.

This is surely what Jesus had in mind when he rebuked the

disciples' fear as faithlessness. They should have understood that

Jesus, as God's Messiah (Luke 9:20), couldn't die by drowning in

the Sea of Galilee. Rather, Scripture foretold his death as a

crucifixion in Jerusalem (cf. Psa. 22:16; Zech. 12:10).

When Paul says that we're to live by faith and not sight (2 Cor.

5:7), he means that we're to do exactly what Jesus rebuked the

disciples for not doing. We're to have an absolute trust in what

God teaches in his word that controls the way that we view the

circumstances we find ourselves in the middle of and that dictates

how we behave in them.
