Jesus. Don't you care?

Can you imagine anyone asking Jesus that question. Yet that`s precisely what the disciples
Did when they were in the ship and a storm came up. Mark 4:38.

Can you imagine? They walked, ate, slept with Jesus daily, seen miracles and yet asked Jesus don't you care?
Jesus asked, "why are you so fearful? Why is it you have so little faith?" He must have been terribly disappointed in them.

Thankfully we have never asked Jesus that, Right? Or have we. Has there not been times in each of our lives when we have asked, Jesus don't you care?
Don't you care that I`m treated unfairly at work?
Don't you care my wife, or husband has left me?
Don't you care I`ve prayed for healing and nothing has happened?

I believe Jesus would ask us the same thing. Why are you so fearful? Why is it you have so little faith?Is He not equally disappointed in us? Heb 11:6 says that without faith it is impossible to please Him.

What about Martha in Luke 10:40. Jesus don't you care that my sister isn't helping me. Then she proceeds to tell Jesus, "bid her therefore to help me."
Jesus reply's to Martha. You are anxious and worried about many things. One thing is needful and Mary has chosen that and it will not be taken from her.

What was it about Martha that was different then Mary? Martha was busy, busy, busy doing what she thought was important to Jesus. Actually what was important to her. Surely if I prepare this great meal for Jesus He will be pleased.

Can anyone see a parallel here with many Christians? If I`m busy here at church, or if I do this that or the other thing Jesus will be pleased with me?
Jesus said no, Mary has chosen the right thing. She chose to set at the feet of Jesus and learn.Jesus wants us to "Be" before we go and "do".

All through the whole Bible are examples of the question, Jesus don't you care.The Israelites questioned Moses, Gods representative. Have you brought us here to die?
My friends, Jesus cares deeply for us. He loves us with an eternal love that we can never understand.He gave His life for us. We should never ask, Jesus don't you care?
