Jesus Time- This week we hear the miracle of Jesus calming the storm. Jesus had been preaching, teaching and healing all day. He and the disciples were crossing to the other side of the Sea of Galilee and Jesus fell asleep on a cushion in the back of the boat. A storm blew up, and the disciples became frantic. Keep in mind that at least four of his disciples were fishermen who had experienced storms before. They thought they were going to drown, and Jesus slept on. Finally they woke him up and asked, "Don't you care that we are about to die?" Jesus shook his head, their faith was still so weak. They had seen miracles and heard his teaching, and still didn't trust him! He stood at the front of the boat and with three words, "Peace! Be still!" calmed the storm. He stands with us in the storms of life and calms them for us. Trust him, don't worry! He is with us always!
