CASE STUDY
Jesus and His disciples in the boat – Mathew 8:23-27
At a time of uncertainty, when the disciples thought it as the end of the world, Jesus thought a powerful lesson – stillness. He was asleep when the disciples were trembling at the raging storm. They were clueless and didn’t know what to do. They suddenly remembered they had the Prince of Peace in their boat. Are you troubled, afraid, or confused? Know that you have the Prince of Peace on your inside. All you need to do is to call on Him and every turbulence shall remain still.
Compare the account of Matthew 8:23-27 with Mark 4:35-40
