Have You Seen This Man? Part [12] 01/20/2026 (Morning thought)

Luke 21: 25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

In our day, another storm is brewing, and like those 12 disciples of Christ we could be in danger of losing sight of the fact that Jesus is on board. God has told us of very strange developments that will take place Prior to Christ’s second coming and the servant of The Lord has warned us that final movements will be rapid ones.

Yet, throughout all of the stormy winds that blow, and throughout the upheavals and mayhem which are scheduled for the final days of earth’s history, we should always remember that Jesus is on board with us, and it is this single fact that would put the troublous times in the right perspective.

It is true that the Christian in our day should not be naïve as to the fulfillment of Bible prophecy, neither should we bury our heads in the sand like if we will never be affected by the winds of strife, to some degree. But the instruction coming from God for such a time as this is for us to lift up our heads to the skies, and focus our attention on what God is doing in the heavenly sanctuary, for it’s there where the curtain is pulled back, and the unfolding of final events are revealed.

 Luke 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

Have You Seen This Man? Part [11] 01/20/2026 (Evening thought)

Mark 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?

Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith? …. Jesus, being tired and hungry from the events of the day, had fallen into a deep slumber, but as far as He was concerned, they were safe in His Father’s arms who would take care of everyone on board.

Therefore, the most important fact about the disciples’ experience was that Jesus was on board. Whether it was storm or calm, or anything else in between, the mere fact that Jesus was on board would make all of the difference. An important commentary on this particular event is written by the servant of The Lord, in which she describes the peace that enshrouded Christ, and the issue which caused the disciples to go into panic mode.

[The Desire of Ages pp 334] Absorbed in their efforts to save themselves, they had forgotten that Jesus was on board. Suddenly, a flash of lightning pierces the darkness, and they see Jesus lying asleep, undisturbed by the tumult. In amazement, and despair they exclaim, “Master, carest Thou not that we perish?” How can He rest so peacefully, while they are in danger and battling with death?

Mark 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
