"Do You Not Care?"
Mark 4: 35-41
The disciples ask the wrong question, "Do you not care that we are perishing?"
Of course Jesus cares. Not only does he care for their physical well being, he cares for their salvation also.
And not only for his followers.
The Gospel passage begins with Jesus telling the disciples to "cross to the other side" of the lake, the side inhabited more by gentiles than the children of Israel. Then, following this passage, Mark would recount Jesus healing people who are gentiles.
For Jesus, these people are all God's children.
And Jesus cares for them all.
Jesus cares for us all.
