Many have become enthusiastic and loyal viewers of Jeopardy.

You might think Jeopardy is a TV game show of whit, knowledge, memory and trivia.

That’s accurate; yet, playing on Jeopardy and being in jeopardy have little in common.

Jeopardy brings to mind another old television program.

Lost in Space had a close knit relationship between a talking robot and boy Will Robinson. Each time the robot sensed Will was in jeopardy it cried out; ‘Danger Will Robinson!’

Put yourself in the place of Jesus’ disciples. They were in danger of capsizing their ship.

“Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him (Luke 8:22-25 KJV).”
