As Jesus rested by faith in the Father's care, so we are to rest in the care of our Saviour. If the disciples had trusted in Him, they would have been kept in peace. Their fear in the time of danger revealed their unbelief. In their efforts to save themselves, they forgot Jesus; and it was only when, in despair of self-dependence, they turned to Him that He could give them help.

Ligesom Jesus hvilede i tro på sin Faders omsorg, sådan skal vi hvile i tro på Frelserens omsorg. Hvis disciplene havde stolet på ham, ville de være blevet bevaret i fred. Deres frygt i farens stund afslørede deres vantro. I deres bestræbelser for at redde sig selv havde de glemt Jesus; og det var først i den yderste nød og fortvivlelse, at de vendte sig til ham, for at han skulle hjælpe dem.
