We're all in the same boat with Jesus, but who is he?

Judging by appearances, it's easy to conclude that God is either inactive or absent in our world. That's no surprise considering he removed his visible presence from our world long ago. Thankfully, we don't have to trust our eyes to know where God is and what he is up to in our world. God is still at work, especially when it looks like he isn't. This week we see how Jesus often appears to be uncaring. We know he can do anything he wants. So when he doesn’t do what we’d expect him to do, it’s easy to think he doesn’t care. Because Jesus is God, he can calmly rule over all things for our good. What seems out of control isn’t. What seems chaotic is going according to his plan. Even as storms arise in life, Jesus calmly guides us to the shores of heaven.
