Jesus Calms the Storm

Long time never shared about the Bible story and I miss to shared it, because I believe the soul will be perfect while we learn more about the Bible and find peace in every "storm" (read problems) in our life. Do you ever read about Matthew chapter 8: 23-27. Only 5 verses.

Let's read that together, open your bible on Matthew 8:23-27 | If you don't have just read in this below:

The first we will look Bible version from Today English Version

8:23 Jesus got into a boat, and his disciples went with him.

8:24 Suddenly a fierce storm hit the lake, and the boat was in danger of sinking. But Jesus was asleep.

8:25 The disciples went to him and woke him up. "Save us, Lord!" they said. "We are about to die!"

8:26 "Why are you so frightened?" Jesus answered. "What little faith you have!" Then he got up and ordered the winds and the waves to stop, and there was a great calm.

8:27 Everyone was amazed. "What kind of man is this?" they said. "Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

Another version from James version:

8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 

8:24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 

8:25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 

8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 

8:27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! 

The point from this story on Matthew 8 

1. Jesus felt tired

2. Suddenly storm come

3. Disciples afraid

4. Jesus calm the storm

Let's talking about that points, after speaking in thousand people, Jesus felt so tired and He decided to go somewhere with a boat. The disciples follow him, they saw Jesus make a miracle. Jesus feed thousand people with 5 fishes and 2 breads to 5000 people who heard His sermon. While in boat, suddenly storm hit them and Jesus still slept. They were afraid although they had look miracle with their own eyes. They asked Him to help them. Suddenly, the storm stop when Jesus command it. They wonder who is this man?

In modern area, let's we description about that chapter on our life this time. 

1. Storm = our problems in alive

2. disciples = ourself

3. Afraid

4. Unbelievable

5. Boat = house

6. Jesus

I bet you are wonder why I made the points like that. Let's read what I will try to explain about that points. I description storm in that story in this time is our problems. Because problems always come suddenly and without we can notice. The disciples are ourself. Because I believe in every our heart we already see the miracle in our life but sometimes we wonder about it and we felt unbelievable to see it again while the storm hit us so badly because we afraid with our storm suddenly come. Boat is our house. We already take Jesus as our savior, so our house already has Jesus but we still unbelievable while storm and the waves hit our boat over and over again.

Friends, no wonder what happened in our house, our life and whatever it happened to us and we can't hold in again. Believe me, Jesus still in You. He just wait until you can't handle it anymore. Jesus always watch you and help you in the time you don't believe it. Don't surrender with all problems in our life because Jesus will make our problem gone. The problems in our life just to make us strong and stronger. Because Jesus will help us in the good time.

Believe it and faith yourself, Jesus never let you down in the deep problems life. Jesus will take you and give you solution if you patient and keep believing.
