On His way to Rome to meet the emperor, the ship that Paul boarded got caught in a violent storm that was so bad, the crew threw the cargo and tackle (anchors, sails, baggage, etc.) overboard. The storm was raging for days, to the point where they had to rely on rope to hold the ship together. When hope was completely lost among the men of the ship, Christ steps in. In this experience, Christ assures Paul, and Paul assures the men that they will get through this and that there will be no loss of life. Today, deriving from this recorded experience, we see that no matter what storm we encounter (whether literal like this one, or figurative in experiencing numerous complications), Christ assures His people that he will never leave us nor forsake us.
