Immediately
Jesus made
His disciples
get into the boat...
He went up on
the mountain
by Himself
to pray.
Now when evening
came,
He was alone
there.
[Matthew 14:22-23]
*****************************
"They said, in class tonight,
that Jesus was up on the
mountain praying.....
for NINE HOURS!"
[SILENCE.]
"I have trouble praying,
for nine MINUTES!"
[BURST OUT LAUGHING!]
"Some pray,
for a whole lifetime,
child."
"NOBODY can pray,
for that LONG!"
No WAY!"
[SOLEMN NOD.]
"That's not HUMAN!
How much can ya
SAY?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
"I either end up...
KVETCHING,
or
falling ASLEEP!"
[PATIENT SIGH.]
"Everything I ask for....
it's always
'NO',
ANYWAY!"
[PATIENT GAZE
AT QUARRELSOME
CHILD.]
"Why didn't
JESUS,
go out to the
WATER,
SOONER?"
[SILENCE.]
"The WEATHER
was BAD!
WHY didn't
He go out,
to SEE how
they were DOIN'?"
[SILENCE.]
"WHY did
He wait,
till the
fourth WATCH?"
(Laugh!)
"That makes me
sound really SEA WORTHY,
doesn't it,
LORD?"
[CHUCKLE.]
"Considering....
I throw-up,
just LOOKING,
at a BOAT."
[CALM NOD.]
"I still don't understand,
what TOOK
Jesus,
so LONG?
Didn't He know
His friends,
were in
PERIL?"
"What peril,
child?
They
were in
My Sight,
the whole time."
***********************
Now in the
fourth watch
of the night
Jesus went to them,
walking
on
the sea.
[Matthew 14:25]
