Lord of All
Mark 4:35-41
And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. Mar 4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. Mar 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. Mar 4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Mar 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Mar 4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? Mar 4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
When Jesus finished His teaching of the parables in chapter four, He encouraged the disciples to go by boat to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. More boats were traveling alongside, and during the voyage, a great storm arose. And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships. Mar 4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind.
Our Lord Jesus is not concerned about the storms of life. He was asleep on a pillow during that storm. He knew that the storm could not harm Him, because He is the Lord of all creation. The storm at sea was under His control. The evil one tried to use everything he could against the Lord and all His followers even now, but Jesus is mightier than our foes. The disciples were afraid as the water was coming over the sides of the boat. … and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
They made a wise decision when they were in need; they called Jesus. This should also be our response when the storms of life overwhelm us. Whether it is a literal storm or any opposition from our enemy, we should always call on the Lord since He has complete dominion over everything.
The lesson here is that the teaching of the parables earlier was to show His disciples then and us now to trust Him. Did they learned the lesson that day in the boat, and have we learned anything about trust from our walk with the Master? Let’s put our faith and trust in the Lord and seek Him in the storms of our lives, for He is Lord of All. And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith? And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
