Jesus Calms the Storm

22 One day Jesus said to his disciples, �Let us go over to the other side of the lake.� So they got into a boat and set out.23 As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.

24 The disciples went and woke him, saying, �Master, Master,we�re going to drown!�

He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided, and all was calm. 25 �Where is your faith?� he asked his disciples.

In fear and amazement they asked one another, �Who is this? He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him.�

Short, Simple and yet Powerful ~ JESUS CHRIST

"Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me, a sinner", a simple yet powerful prayer from the bible, �God, have mercy on me, a sinner.� (Luke 18:13)

If you have faith in Christ, hope in Christ, and love of Christ, then invoke His holy name "JESUS CHRIST" in your prayer and affirm your prayer in His name because Christ Himself has assured by His words, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matthew 28:18). God the Father, creator of all is the most supreme power in the universe and Jesus is Incarnate son of God became flesh, dwell among us and to later become a sacrificial lamb to pay for our salvation as in (John 3:16), "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." Jesus Christ is true God and true man who is one with His father God in heaven, as Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6). We are in Jesus Christ and He is in the Father and His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of love, unites us all. "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. (John 14:20)

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!
