Sunday: Calming a Storm
Daily Lesson for Sunday 28th of July 2024
Read Mark 4:35-41. What happens in this story, and what lessons can we take from it about who Jesus is?
At the beginning of Mark 4:1-41, Jesus steps into a boat to teach the crowd on the shore. In Mark 4:10-12, it seems He may have gotten out of the boat and talked with the disciples privately. Now, after a long day of teaching, the disciples take Jesus in the boat “as He was,” in other words, very tired.

He immediately falls asleep on the boat’s cushion, which would be in the stern of the boat. A great storm arises on the lake, and the boat is at risk of sinking when the disciples awake Him. Dramatically, Jesus commands the wind and waves to cease. A great calm settles over the lake. Understandably, the disciples are deeply afraid at the display of divine power.
Read Psalms 104:1-9. How does the picture of Yahweh here compare with Christ calming the storm?
The story in Mark 4:35-41 fits within a common biblical pattern: that of a “theophany”—the appearance of God or one of His angels. Five characteristics are common to these events: (1) the display of divine power, (2) human fear, (3) the command “Do not fear,” (4) the words of revelation for which God or the angel appeared, and (5) human response to the revelation. Four of the five are present in this story—the calming of the storm is the display of divine power, the disciples’ fear is the human fear. The question, “Why are you so afraid?” is the “Do not fear.” The disciples’ question, “Who then is this?” is the human response. What is missing is the words of revelation. This missing detail plays into the revelation/secrecy motif that runs through the entire book, where the truth about Jesus will come out. Here the disciples’ question, “Who then is this that the wind and the sea obey Him?” pushes the reader to fill in the answer of the missing words of revelation—He is the Son of God, the Lord Himself.

(0)Editorial: What I Miss About Being Adventist
It has been a few years since I’ve regularly attended an Adventist Church. A lot has been written about about why people leave, and those points all still deserve thought. But yesterday I was missing a very specific Seventh-day Adventist thing. I mentioned it to my husband, and he had never even heard of it. The thing I […] Source: https://atoday.org/editorial-what-i-miss-about-being-adventist/
The Power of Faith: AWR’s Mission Trip Across Madagascar’s Stunning Landscape
Today, we are embarking on an extraordinary journey with Ray Allen and local AWR workers, heading to a remote village far from our base in the capital city of Madagascar. A mission pilot has generously offered to transport our team to the closest city to our destination. The views from fourteen thousand feet above the Madagascar mountains are breathtaking. Upon landing, we prepare for a lengthy car ride, continuing our journey into the countryside. As we near our destination, anticipation builds. We are on our way to meet Raja, a woman with a unique story unlike any other I've encountered before. I'm eager to meet her in person and hear more of her story
