And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land............
And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

ReplyDeleteThank you ,
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the big scriptures for me.
It says everything we need to know and flies in the face of the little gods of the earth who can't even control themselves.
A tour guide in Israel informes us that this mountain pass is where the high winds and storms come onto the sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) from the west.
I think God carved it out long ago just for this Mark 4 episode He would have with His disciples on the lake.
Oh ye of little faith reverberates in my heart and mind.
He's in control no matter what the circumstances are for us.
