     | 6,267 views

    Anyone who has lived understands that in life there are hinderances and obstacles. Many of us have faced hinderances and have often wondered if Jesus recognizes where we are and what we have to deal with. The disciples are rowing and are hindered by a wave as Jesus passed was passing them by.

    God describes sin with words like disobedience, lawlessness, iniquity, wickedness, trespass, transgression, and rebellion. The truth about sin is not only repulsive, but it is also personal. Sin is not other people’s problem. It is ours.

My personal opinion is that he was a very analytical type of individual, one who wanted to be sure before he made a decision. Too many people ...read more
