He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” - Mark 4:40.

In this time with the coronavirus, I think the story of the Jesus calming the storm is a perfect metaphor for the world. We’re all on a boat, convinced we’re dying, and it feels like Jesus is just... taking a nap.

However, Jesus heard the cries of his disciples, got up, and calmed the storm. He then replied with this: Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?

I don’t think we should miss that the disciples panicked. That they were afraid. Just because they had Jesus did not mean they didn’t endure hardship.

But Christ was there at the end of our hardship, and he will still be there at the end of ours. While the world may seem stuck in this utter chaos, this storm, if you will, Christ has not forgotten us.

It’s important, in fearful times such as these, to cling to faith. I think it’s okay to admit we’re scared, so long as we remember Christ is bigger than COVID-19. He saw us into this, and He will see us through it.
