Parable of the Calming of the Storm


Mark 4:35-41 // Chapter 4 of the Gospel of Mark, filled with parables, concludes with Jesus calming the storm across the Sea of Galilee. Its not a parable, yet we often treat it that way. Pastor Rick speaks to the misstep of viewing the Bible as just stories and the absence of the Mystery of God it creates in our life.


 

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?”
