Lent 2014 page 9 by ric gustafson
Luke 8:25- ' Who is this? He commands even the winds and water and they obey him'.
Throughout the Bible, stormy seas meant chaos. Jesus and the disciples were in a tiny boat being battered by a huge storm. They woke up Jesus and let him know how terrified they were. Jesus calmed the Sea and then asked them where is your faith?.
Jesus was questioning their fear. Jesus was with them in the boat yet they were scared and afraid. Even though the storms of life will hit us, Jesus is with us in the boat. The storms do not have ultimate power over us. Jesus, who commands the winds and the water, is in charge of our lives and will keep us safe from harm and Satan.
