Jesus Stopped The Storm
Before now, our Lord Jesus Christ was speaking to the people concerning the kingdom of God and in parables.
Afterwards, He expounded those things which He spoke unto His disciples in the closet.
According to the gospel account by Mark chapter 4, Jesus Christ on the evening of the same day which He ministered unto the multitude, called His disciples to join Him to the other side.
"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." (Mark 4:36).
Jesus Christ with His disciples, embarked on a journey to the other side but while on the way, something happened.
"... there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full." (Mark 4:37).
What a great inconvenience that was to the disciples of Jesus Christ? What an inconvenience that would be to me and you, if we were to be there?
What Was Jesus Doing In The Storm?
"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?" (Mark 4:38).
Brethren, Jesus Christ was resting in the storm while His disciples were restless in the storm.
This is clear picture of what's happening in the world today. If you are restless, there is hope for. The only one who rested in the storm (Jesus Christ) is ever willing to give you rest!
At the time the disciples went and met Him on the matter, the Bible says;
"... he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." (Mark 4:39).
It is very true that Jesus Stopped The Storm. He was in the storm and exercised dominion over the storm.
Still Do You Know How Jesus Stopped The Storm?
How Jesus Stopped The Storm
From where we read, note the bold words ('rebuked' and 'said'). Jesus Stopped The Storm by commanded the storm to stop and told the sea to be at peace. Immediately, the storm stopped and the sea became calm.
Therefore, Jesus Stopped The Storm at His words. And when His disciples saw this, they all wondered.
What Manner Of Man Is This
"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?" (Mark 4:40-41).
If the disciples who were with Jesus could say, WHAT MANNER OF MAN IS THIS concerning Jesus, what will you say?
For I know that He is coming into that situation to give you a solution. But you must first go to Him!
Here is what Jesus said in Matthew 11:28;
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."
The one who rested in the storm, Jesus Christ who also stopped the storm in the ship and gave rest to His disciples, that same Jesus is calling you to come and receive rest from whatever storm that you are passing through.
It is true that many people don't know what you are passing through, but Jesus knows. He is willing to give you rest from that situation.
Are you willing to receive it? Come to Jesus Now!
