Jesus Promised: You Will Make It to The Other Side

"And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side." (Mark 4:35)

The final account in Mark 4 has appeared at least four times to me this morning.

It's worth noting the clear direction which Jesus gave to His disciples following one of His major ministries outreaches: "Let's pass over to the other side."

Jesus said, and that should be enough to believe it. Jesus said that His disciple and He would cross over to the other side.

Yet the disciples were fearful when the hurricanes and strong winds hit the boat:

"37And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?" (Mark 4:37-38)

Of course Jesus cares, and He is more than master. He is our Savior, and He assures that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but receive everlasting life! (John 3:16)

It's important in the midst of every storm we face that we rest in God's promises, that God gave His Word, literally--His Son Jesus.

"Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me." (Psalm 138:7)
