“HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM!”

 Matthew 8:23-27                      (ESV)

JESUS Calms a Storm

“[23] And when HE got into the boat, “HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM”. [24] And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but HE was asleep. [25] And they went and woke him, saying, “Save us, LORD; we are perishing.” [26] And HE said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then HE rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. [27] And the men marveled, saying, “What sort of man is this, that EVEN WINDS AND SEA OBEY HIM?””

Briefly this morning, although this is the same passage of Scripture shared in my previous devotional, there are MANY lessons that need to be learned from them.  

“HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM” plainly tells us that the CHOSEN FOLLOWED JESUS!  We NOW know that they were headed to a “great storm”, but they had THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSES in their midst, so why would they panic???

We need to always REMEMBER that JESUS will never leave us NOR FORSAKE US (Hebrews 13:5)!  “HIS DISCIPLES FOLLOWED HIM” should be easy because of HIS PROMISE?  We just need to REMEMBER what HE said!!!
