| Why Trust Jesus |
We have all been deceived by dishonest business advertising and disappointed by politics. Yet, strangely we still seek gurus who can save us. Our naivety feeds politics and business, and they are all selling snake oil. Even the ancient Psalmist wrote not to trust human leaders because they are just weak men who cannot save (Psalm 146:3). So we come to Jesus with distrust. And there he is walking on the water. The boat that the disciples used may have been 8 meters (26 feet) long and 2 meters (6 feet) wide. It’s clearance above the waterline may have only been about a meter (3 feet). It was easily swamped in a storm. We trust no man, including ourselves. But Jesus asks us to trust him in an open boat with no life jackets (Matthew 14:22-33). Will we?
