The sermon is from Luke 8:22-25 – “Power for the Perishing”.  “And they went and woke him, saying, ‘Master, Master, we are perishing!’” – Luke 8:24

“They went and woke who?!,” you may ask. The One they awoke was God Incarnate. “For in him,” according to Paul, “all the fulness of God was pleased to dwell.” Paul goes on to state, “God was manifest in the flesh …” (1 Timothy 3:16 KJV). How could God take a nap? Afterall, Psalm 121:4 announces, “Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.” To understand this, one must remember that Christ is one person with two natures. He possesses a divine nature, but He also possesses a human nature. Therefore, He slept in the back of the disciple’s boat. In Mark (4:38), we discover that He even had a cushion! So, He is able to sympathize with our weaknesses. In every respect, He has been tempted as we are, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:14-16).
