This absolutely, unequivocally blows my mind. Jesus... sleeping!?! who'd a thunk it? I guess why i'm taken aback by this is because He's 100% God. but anyways...
This isn't just some cute little story for us to read, hear a sermon on, and completely forget about it. The disciples went and woke up Jesus yelling about the storm and how they were going to sink. Jesus' reply astonishes me: "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?"
He then got up from His nap, (again, mind=blown), and rebuked the winds and the waves... i don't know if you caught that so i'll type it again... He rebuked, stopped, calmed, ended the winds and the waves. When the sailors on the boat saw this they were astonished, saying "what kind of man is this? even the winds and the waves listen to Him."
He calmed the storm.... as easy as getting up from His nap. I'm pretty sure my brain would've exploded right then and there... not even gonna lie. So the question is... do you believe that Jesus really did this? or do you just take this story like every other fictitious story you've ever read. As for me, this story is as real as i am. We get so numb to the fact that all of this stuff really happened that we take it for granted and just take it at face value.
I challenge you to stop doing this (me included) and dive into the Word of God. And dive into the stories that are 100% true and see how awesome it is.
