“Who Is This Man?”
They Asked Each Other.
Even The Wind And Waves Obey Him!”
Mark 4
35 As evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” 36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed). 37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.
38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
39 When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. 40 Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!”
Observation
Jesus
was asleep on the back of the boat with His head on a cushion as the waves were
coming into the boat and the boat was sinking.
His
disciples were freaking out and they woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you
care …”
We
do the same thing.
When
we are in a desperate situation it is easy to cry out to God and shout out,
“Don’t You care?”
One
of the reasons that God allows us to get into those desperate situations is so
that He can show us that He does care.
He
is building our faith. No storms then no need for faith!
The
next time we are in one of those “sinking situations” lets remember the
response of His disciples, “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the
wind and waves obey Him!”
Jesus cares about me. I will trust Him in the storms. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that with every difficult situation that comes into my life
there is a lesson for me about trusting You. It is a life long lesson. Thank
You for taking such good care of my family and me. You show me everyday that I
can trust in You. Help those that are going through tough times. Show them that
they can trust You through the storms of life. Show them that nothing is too
hard for You.
