Luke 8:22-25
About the next group of questions
Jesus performed many miracles of healing, but not many miracles were connected with nature. His followers were slow to realise that Jesus had power over the forces of nature. We should be ready to learn from the way that God works in our lives.
Pray
Ask God to help you to learn from what you study.
8:22 Whom did Jesus take with him into the boat? Where did Jesus say that they would all sail to?
8:23 What did Jesus do as they sailed across the lake? What happened while Jesus was asleep?
8:24 The disciples realised that they were in danger of drowning. What did they do then? What did Jesus do when they woke him up?
8:25 Whom did Jesus speak to after he spoke to the storm? What should the disciples have done when they were afraid? The storm suddenly stopped. How did the disciples feel when they saw that? Why did they ask, ‘Who is this man?’?
Final remarks
Jesus did not worry even in the storm. He had already told the disciples that they would reach the other side. They were in great danger. It was difficult for them to believe that he could take care of them then. Only God can control the weather. So the disciples had to realise that Jesus is God. He wants us all to be free from worry when we have difficulties.
Pray
Dear Jesus, please help me to trust you when things frighten me. I need to be free from worry. Amen.
