LET US PASS OVER UNTO THE OTHER SIDE


November 27, 2013


God’s word is a representation of who God is. The Psalmist in Psalm 138:2 says, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy loving kindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.” Whatever God says, He would do.

In the book of Mark 4:35-41, Jesus told the disciples, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” However, suddenly in verse 37, there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. At this point the disciples were terrified, but the scripture puts it that Jesus was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow. When the disciples couldn’t take it anymore, they woke Him up, and He rebuked the storm.

Jesus felt disappointed in the disciples, He said, “Why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith?” In order words, “what I said was, let us pass over unto the other side, I never said there won’t be storm, sharks, snakes and all, but it doesn’t matter what happens on the road, we are going to the other side. Why can’t you trust my word, more so, I am in the boat too.”

Someone said, God would show you where you are going, but will not show you what you will encounter, your job is to hold on tight to the promise you have from Him because that is the only thing that would keep you going. After all, the Bible says in Isa 43:2 that, “When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.”

Never lose sight of what the Master of the universe has told you as that’s the oil that makes the journey of life smooth and interesting.
