This is one
of those stories from the Bible that is very familiar to us. Knowing the
end of the story can lead us to belittle the situation of the
disciples. The Bible makes it clear that the water
was already entering the boat. Some of the disciples were experts in
marine navigation, and even they were desperate! Their lives were in
danger. This really was chaos in the middle of the sea, but even under
these circumstances the presence of God changes
everything.
When was the
last time you were in a situation that was really dangerous or chaotic?
What was going through your mind? How did you get out of the situation?
What does the disciples’ question in Mark 4:38 tell us about how they were interpreting Jesus' behavior?
What does verse 41 teach us about the disciples' level of understanding regarding who Jesus was?
What does
this passage have to teach us about our current situation? How does our
understanding of who Jesus is change our perception of the current
situation?
