Storm And Calm – Read Mark 4:35-40
Contemplation
Off to the other side of the lake. Night is falling, and it’s getting colder and darker as the noise of the crowd fades behind us. The wind gets stronger and louder. The boat rocks and water pours into the boat. Where’s Jesus? Asleep in the back! How can he sleep now? Help! Aren’t you worried about us? He gets up from the cushion he has been lying on. “Peace!,” he says. Suddenly, the wind and waves stop. All is quiet again. “Who is this man?”
What are my storms?
Where is Jesus?
What does peace mean?
Who is Jesus?
Can he bring me peace?
