Jesus Calms the Storm

Mark 4:35–41

For children

Jesus and His friends were in a boat when a terrible storm came. Jesus was asleep! The disciples woke Him: "Don't you care that we're drowning?" Jesus said to the wind and waves, "Peace! Be still!" — and everything became calm.

For grown-ups

Only God rules the raging sea (Ps 89:9; 107:29). The disciples move from fear of the storm to a greater fear: 'Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?'
