« When the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said to her, “Do not weep.” »
35 That day, when evening had come, Jesus told them, “Let’s cross to the other side.”
36 So they left the crowd and took Him away in a boat without making any special preparations. Other boats were with Him.
37 A violent windstorm came up, and the waves began breaking into the boat, so that the boat was rapidly becoming swamped.
38 But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep on a cushion. So they woke Him up and asked Him, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to die?”
39 Then He got up, rebuked the wind, and told the sea, “Calm down! Be still!” Then the wind stopped blowing, and there was a great calm.
40 He asked them, “Why are you such cowards? Don’t you have any faith yet?”
41 Overcome with fear, they kept saying to one another, “Who is this man? Even the wind and the sea obey him!”
- The greatest storm of life is untimely death.
The good news is that the Storm Stiller has power over death.
The Bible says in John 11:25-26GNT
« Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me will live, even though they die; and those who live and believe in me will never die. Do you believe this?” »
The story behind our memory verse is a pointer to the fact that Jesus indeed is the only One who can still all storms of life, including the most devastating one – death.
There was a widow who was left with only one son. The storm of death had taken away her husband and returned to take her only son as well. As the child was being carried away for burial, the woman and the people bearing the corpse encountered the Storm Stiller. The Bible records that, Luke 7:14NKJV
« Then He came and touched the open coffin, and those who carried him stood still. And He said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” »
Beloved, I bring good news to you today: the storm of untimely death will not rage in your family.
As Jesus stilled the storm on the sea, so shall every devastating storm be stilled today, in Jesus’ name.
Jesus is the only answer to the storm of death. The Bible says, Hebrews 2:14-15NLT
« Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could He die, and only by dying could He break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could He set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying »
Beloved, you do not need to be afraid of death because Jesus Christ has conquered death for us;
because He lives, death shall have no power over us again.
You do not need to join secret societies or engage in voodoo for fear of death.
Romans 6:9 assures us that death has no control over Christ; if you’re His child, death can have no control over you either.
Prayer focus – Father, never let me or any member of my family experience untimely death, in Jesus’ name.
