Bible In A Year | Read: Mark 4
35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!”Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” 41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” Mark 4:35-41
Overview of Chapter
Jesus tells a story to illustrate the different ways people respond to his message. Those who reject him don’t always do it in the same way or for the same reasons, but the result is the same. For those who trust Jesus, the growth is amazing. A small seed of Jesus’ message in our lives can result in our personal growth, the spreading of Jesus’ message and the increasing development of God’s kingdom.
Today, you have spent some time reading God’s Word to you. You can reject it because you think it is false or because you get busy and forget what you read. The right thing to do is to let it change you and grow you into a better person.
