In Mark 4:35-41, we find Jesus’ disciples over-whelmed with fear in the midst of a violent storm that threatened to capsize their boat. Some were seasoned fishermen who had weathered a storm or two in their time, and yet there was something different about this storm. How does Jesus respond to the disciples’ cries for help? He said, “Quiet! Be still!” and then all was miraculously calm. He then asks His disciples, "Why are you so afraid?". What are the ‘storms’ in your life? Do you respond to them with fear or do you fully recognize and rely on the One who promises to journey with you through the ‘storms’?

People today are as divided about the identity of Jesus as they were in the first century. Some say he was a good moral teacher, others claim that he is the Lord and Saviour of the world and bow their knees in worship, while many reject him altogether. Who do you say Jesus is? Your answer not only determines your future here on earth, but for all eternity. Let's take some time to investigate further.

The book of John records that Jesus was changing lives and starting to find opposition and persecution from the religious leaders who had resolved to kill him. The tension was growing day by day, yet Jesus continued to fulfill what his Father had called him to be for a hurting world. This calling is clearly seen in John 5:1-18 as Jesus interacts with the lame man at the pool of Bethesda. As physical health was restored, the passage showcases the focus/attitude of many who witnessed the healing. Perhaps it is good to think about what “cripples” us spiritually and inhibits our walk with God? Can you let it go to be made well?

At the end of John 6, we read that many of Jesus’ followers were questioning his bold teachings and were disturbed and offended by their implications. As a result, many deserted him. At this time, Jesus asked his twelve disciples, “Do you want to leave me too?” (John 6:67, paraphrase). They had a choice to make—to follow Jesus or to follow the crowd. You also have a choice. Who will you follow?
