Jesus Calms The Storm

Jesus Calms The Storm

Jesus Calms The Storm is today's amazing story. It shows the Lord's power over winds and waves.   

The event was so impressive that Matthew, Mark, and Luke wrote about it.

Let us read on to learn more.




Jesus calms the storm introduction


This story began one evening after Jesus had finished a long day of teaching. 

He got into a boat with His disciples in order to cross over to the other side of the lake.






Jesus had been busy all day, teaching people about God. 

He was very tired, so He lay down and went to sleep.





A storm arose on the lake


The wind began to blow and the waves got bigger and bigger.

 The little boat bobbed up and down. 

Jesus’ disciples became scared. 




The disciples began to yell!


“Jesus wake up. Help us! The waves are too big, and we are not safe,” they said. 






Jesus awoke and spoke to the storm


Finally, Jesus awoke!

He stood up in the boat and said,

“Wind and waves be still!” 

There was an instant change!

The wind stopped raging!

The waves stopped tossing the boat around! 






The disciples were amazed



Jesus’ disciples were extremely amazed!


“Jesus can even tell the storm to stop. Only God can do that!” they said. 

This miracle helped them to believe that Jesus is the Son of God.




Jesus calms the storm meaning


Sometimes everyone has storms or difficult times in his or her life. 

These can include things like exams at school, difficult subjects,  family problems, times of ill health, and more.

However, Jesus is with those who love Him and who obey His Word.

Like the disciples, we can call on the Lord for help.

This means that we can tell Him the problem and ask for His assistance.

The disciples knew that they were safe with Jesus.  He has all power over everything!

We can trust the Lord Jesus because He said that He will never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13 5).

The Bible also says, “When I am afraid I will trust in you”  (Psalm 56: 3).

We encourage you to trust the Lord for help and not to be afraid.




Jesus calms the storm bible verses - Mark 4: 35 - 41 ESV


35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 

36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 

37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 

38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 

39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 

41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
