Mark 4 records an episode in the life of Jesus and His disciples that has become a favorite of many people. It is the story of Jesus asleep in the boat when a storm suddenly arises. There are several things about this story that are fascinating. One of the things that never cease to amaze me is how "suddenly" storms happen. It is like they arise out of nowhere. However, just as the disciples learned, if you have Jesus in the boat with you, then all is well.
The part of this story that sticks out to me the most is at the closing of the story when the disciples turn to each other and ask, "who is this man?" (NLT) Who is this man? He is the one who calms the waters. He is the one who delivered the demoniac when no-one else could tame him. He is the one who healed Jarius' daughter and He is the one who healed the woman with the issue of blood when she touched him.
Who is the man called Jesus? He is the one who died so that we could live!
This is today,
Pastor Gary
