“And the same day, when the even was come, He [the Lord Jesus] saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side” (Mark 4:35).
It was the Lord Jesus who said to His disciples, “Let us pass over unto the other side.” However, in the next few verses, we find that a terrific storm arose on the lake, and water was washing into the boat. Yet the Lord Jesus was asleep. His disciples woke Him up, asking Him if He did not care that they were perishing. The Lord immediately rebuked the storm, and it stopped.
But was there any real need for the disciples to be upset? The Lord Himself had said that they would go over to the other side. Could the boat sink when the Lord was in it? Of course not! When the Lord said they would go to the other side of the lake, then they would surely get there.
It is often the same in our lives. Difficult circumstances and problems may make us wonder if the Lord really cares about us. But He has said that He is going to bring us safely home to Himself. There may be storms along the way, but our boat will never sink!
