The Wind Listens to Jesus!

"Let us go over to the other side."
Mark 4:35

One day, Jesus planned to take His disciples into a boat and go to the other side of the sea. He said, "Let us go over to the other side." Jesus' words are very powerful, and if He says we are going to do something then we are going to do it!



His disciples must have forgot how powerful Jesus' words are because they became afraid when a strong wind started blowing and made great big waves. The waves were pounding against the boat and it was starting to fill up with water! The disciples were very afraid and woke Jesus up. He had been sleeping this whole time! Jesus was not afraid. He knew they were going to the other side of the sea.


When Jesus woke up, He asked them why they were so afraid. Why did they not have any faith? He spoke to the wind and told it to be quiet and still. Do you know what happened? The wind did what He said! It became perfectly calm. Jesus' words will not only keep you safe, but will keep you from being afraid too if you will believe Him.


This story is in Matthew 8:23-27 and Mark 4:35-41
