Jesus Calms The Storm |
|
 |
The disciples could see they were in serious danger. In their panic, the disciples woke Jesus, saying "Don't you care - we are going to drown!" Jesus stood up and, speaking to the wind and the raging waters, simply told them to be still. |
| Immediately the strength of the winds decreased and the waves died down until everything was calm.
Turning to the disciples, he asked them "Why were you frightened? Where is your faith?" Jesus wanted them to trust God to keep them safe. The disciples were afraid and amazed and wondered if they really knew Jesus at all. "Who is this" they asked each other, "Who even tells the winds and the water what to do, and they obey him?" Only God can do things like that! |
