THE DISCIPLES' SHIP & THE RAGING STORM: MAN EXPERIENCING PEACE IN A CHAOTIC WORLD

(Mark 4:35-41)
by
Pastor Christian Abanum

The world is characterized by trouble and confusion but it is only in Christ that we can find peace (John 16:33, John 14:27)

The peace of this world is but for a moment. It is only in Christ that you can find lasting and eternal peace (Psalm 46)


For you to be recipient of

this peace, you've got to surrender the totality of your life to Christ.

For you to experience peace, you've got to exchange your heavy burden for Christ's light yoke. (Matt 11:28-30)


Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] 28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.]

29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls.
30 For My yoke is wholesome (useful, good—not harsh, hard, sharp, or pressing, but comfortable, gracious, and pleasant), and My burden is light and easy to be borne.
