Season 2: Only the Messiah Could...
Episode 6: “Jesus Could Calm a Storm”
Today’s Bible Bite: Matthew 8:23-27

Video Story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYLHqdSO9OY (Saddleback Kids)

“The disciples were amazed. ‘Who is this man?’ they asked. ‘Even the winds and waves obey him’” (Matthew 8:27)!

After a very busy day of teaching people and healing the sick, Jesus was tired and needed some time to rest. He told the disciples to take their boat to the other side of the lake; once they were on the water, Jesus fell asleep. And He would have continued to sleep except that the disciples woke Him up. They were in a panic! A storm had begun and was threatening to sink the boat...how could Jesus sleep at a time like this?

Jesus saw how scared they were. Why hadn’t they woken Him up in the first place to help them instead of trying to get through the storm on their own? Why were they so scared when He was there to help them? He got up, told the storm to settle down and everything turned instantly calm. The disciples were astounded...Jesus could not only heal people, He could make the weather obey Him too!

Think about it...
  • Jesus was very tired and needed rest, but that doesn’t explain how He could sleep through a terrible storm. Why do you think Jesus could sleep at a time like this?
  • Sometimes we have ‘storms’ that scare us. What ‘storms’ have you experienced?
  • The disciples tried to get to the other side without Jesus’ help, but couldn’t. Why was Jesus disappointed with them?
  • When we ask God to help us with a problem, we have confidence that God will help us. What ‘storms’ would you like Jesus to help you with?

Prayer: Thank you, God, that You are bigger than any storms. Thank you that You are always ready and willing to help us. You don’t always take the storm away, but we can have confidence that You will help us. We don’t have to be scared!
