Then he sends the people away and tells His disciples to get into the boat and go on across the lake. All alone now, Jesus hikes up the mountain so He can have some time to pray. The sun sets, darkness wraps itself around Him, and the stars come out. Hours go by as Jesus pours out His heart to His Father. Suddenly, He becomes aware of the wind starting to blow.
Black clouds sweep in, shutting out the stars.
Sheets of rain are soon drenching Him. Exposed on the mountainside, instead of looking for shelter from the storm, instead of trying to wait it out in safety and calm, Jesus' first thoughts are of His disciples. In His heart, He sees them in the middle of the lake, battling the awful storm for their lives. He comes to reveal. But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD'S love is with those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children's children.
