About

hey everyone. welcome to my blog. enjoy some reading about various thoughts that are making their way out of my head.

thoughts on Mark 4:35-41

That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." Leaving the crowd behind, the took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 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?"
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.

He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?"
They were terrified and asked each other, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"

Do you still have no faith? What a question that Jesus poses to his disciples. Seems like a tough question considering the circumstances. They fear for their life during an intense and here is Jesus sleeping soundly.

Yet, in light of my previous post, and Mark's previous verses...Jesus had just explained everything to them (4:34). So, I suppose the question, "Do you still have no faith?" is applicable. With knowledge comes responsibility.

Responsibility to allow this newness of knowledge yield a change one's manner of conduct.

This is definately played out in the TV show 24. Jack Bauer, Keiffer Sutherland, changes his behavior based on the knowledge he gains as the pain-staking day wares on...
