| Mrk 4:35 | Pada hari itu, waktu hari sudah petang, Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Marilah kita bertolak ke seberang." |
| Mrk 4:36 | Mereka meninggalkan orang banyak itu lalu bertolak dan membawa Yesus beserta dengan mereka dalam perahu di mana Yesus telah duduk dan perahu-perahu lain juga menyertai Dia. |
| Mrk 4:37 | Lalu mengamuklah taufan yang sangat dahsyat dan ombak menyembur masuk ke dalam perahu, sehingga perahu itu mulai penuh dengan air. |
| Mrk 4:38 | Pada waktu itu Yesus sedang tidur di buritan di sebuah tilam. Maka murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia dan berkata kepada-Nya: "Guru, Engkau tidak perduli kalau kita binasa?" |
| Mrk 4:39 | Iapun bangun, menghardik angin itu dan berkata kepada danau itu: "Diam! Tenanglah!" Lalu angin itu reda dan danau itu menjadi teduh sekali. |
| Mrk 4:40 | Lalu Ia berkata kepada mereka: "Mengapa kamu begitu takut? Mengapa kamu tidak percaya?" |
| Mrk 4:41 | Mereka menjadi sangat takut dan berkata seorang kepada yang lain: "Siapa gerangan orang ini, sehingga angin dan danaupun taat kepada-Nya?" |
RENUNGAN
Tuhan Yesus pun meredakan taufan di danau itu dengan menghadir "Diam! Tenanglah!" dan angin pun reda dan menjadi tenang. Suatu kuasa Tuhan yang amat luar biasa dengan perkataan Tuhan Yesus angin taufan pun dapat berhenti. Tuhan Yesus sangat berkuasa atas apapun yang ada di dunia ini.
Tuhan Yesus pun memberikan nasehat kepada murid - murid, agar selalu percaya kepada Tuhan. Karena murid - murid Yesus masih ketakutkan dan bingun harus berbuat apa. Yang ingin Tuhan Yesus tekankan bahwa manusia harus percaya kepada Tuhan Sang Pecipta yang mempunyai kuasa apapun yang ada di dunia.
Apabila iman kita sudah begitu besar maka Tuhan Yesus pun akan selalu menemani dan memiliki kuasa atas mukjizat - mukjizat yang terjadi. Mukjizat yang dilakukan oleh Tuhan Yesus pun dapat tejadi asalkan kita percaya penuh kepada Tuhan Yesus.
DOA
Ya Tuhan semoga Engkau selalu memberkati aku
Baik di saat teduh dan di saat badai
karena hanyalah Engkau penolong ku
Kini dan sepanjang segala abad
Amen
ENGLISH
Mark 4:35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
Mark 4:36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him.
Mark 4:37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling.
Mark 4:38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
Mark 4:39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mark 4:40 He said to them, "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"
Mark 4:41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
REFLECTION
The Lord Jesus calmed the storm on the lake by commanding, "Peace! Be still!" and the wind subsided, and there was a great calm. It was an extraordinary power of the Lord, and with the words of Jesus, even the stormy wind could stop. Jesus has great authority over everything in this world.
Jesus also advised His disciples to always trust in God. Because the disciples of Jesus were still fearful and confused about what to do. What Jesus wanted to emphasize is that humans should trust in the Creator who has power over everything in the world.
When our faith is strong, Jesus will always accompany us and have power over the miracles that occur. Miracles performed by Jesus can happen as long as we have full faith in Him.
PRAYER
O Lord, may You always bless me,
Both in times of calm and in times of storm,
For You alone are my helper,
Now and throughout all ages.
Amen.
