Matthew 8: When the disciples awakened Jesus, they were probably not standing, the waves were so fierce. When Jesus sat up, He was not groggy but rational: Why are ye fearful, little faiths? He said that sitting down; then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, etc. I imagine there was usually some drudgery associated with rowing across Galilee, but this time I suppose there was some thinking going on with every dip of an oar the rest of the way across.
What about our drudgery? At least with Jesus in the boat, we are going somewhere that matters. Where is the enthusiastic oar dipping?
