A storm on Lake Galilee

Mark 4:35-41

Lake Galilee is a very large lake. There are often storms on the lake. But this storm was very bad. There were several disciples who had worked on the boats there. But even those disciples were very afraid. They thought that they would die.

Jesus had authority over that storm. He told the wind to stop. And it stopped. The sea became flat again. The wind and the water had to obey Jesus.

It was clear that God had done this. A man cannot stop a storm. So, after the storm, the disciples were afraid of Jesus. They still did not know who he really was. But by God‘s authority, Jesus had saved their lives.
