 In the mean while, the disciples were in trouble at sea, but it was only a small sample of the hardships that lay ahead for them.  In the future, when they went out to preach the Gospel, they were met with hostility and persecution.  But it is comforting to all of Christ’s disciples, that when we are in a storm, that the Master is in Heaven, interceding for us.

Paul says this to prevent rash and hasty judgment, and it agrees with that well known Jewish adage, “be slow in judgment;” not quick to pass sentence; it is best to leave things to the great day of accounting, than to be hasty in finding fault with one another. There is a time "preset" for the awful judgment, which has existed from eternity past, and no man knows what day it is.
