Sleeping<\/p>\n

The only record we have of the Lord sleeping is in the back of a fishing boat while seasoned fishermen toiled and feared for their lives due to a storm on the Sea of Galilee. \u201cAnd, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep\u201d <\/span>(Matthew 8:24).<\/p>\n

He slept while they worried and fretted; later the disciples slept while he agonized in the Garden of Gethsemane. \u201cAnd He cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep\u201d <\/span>(Matthew 26:40).<\/p>\n

He slept because there was no reason for Him to be awake. He knew that all was in control, and that they would safely reach the other side according to His word. The disciples slept when they had every reason to be alert, and He could rebuke them by asking, \u201cWhat, could ye not watch with me one hour\u201d <\/span>(Matthew 26:40)?<\/p>\n

While we appreciate His concern for us let us attend to the privileges and responsibilities that have been committed to us. We are exhorted, \u201cWatch and pray<\/span> <\/span>\u2026<\/span> <\/span>And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep\u201d <\/span>(Romans 13:11; Matthew 26:41).<\/p>\n
