The Fisherman

by Larry Huntsperger

During his few years here on earth, Jesus chose to accept the limitations that come with a spirit’s existence within a human body. His mind, like our minds, could focus on only one thing at a time. Because his mind was focused on following Jairus to his home, it could not at the same time be focused on the woman who touched his clothing. But the limitations of his physical mind did not in any way alter or impair the true identity of his spirit.

Why did I doubt? He had already given me proof of his faithfulness. I was already walking on the water. The storm had not intensified. The waves were not increasing in size. My circumstances had not changed. And yet one minute I was walking on the sea, and the next I was being destroyed by it.
