Lesson 5 Review: Miracles Around the Lake

Introduction

Memory Text: “However, Jesus did not permit him, but said to him, ‘Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you’ ” (Mark 5:19, NKJV).

Jesus performed many miracles to make it clear to and understood by everyone that truly He is the Messiah, but not many believed in Him. They were a group of people who disobeyed and doubted Him.

Even with Jesus, why would the Disciples fear the storm?

Being a Christian doesn't mean the end of suffering, accepting Jesus into our hearts and homes mean everything is over but difficulties and trials will come to test our faith in Jesus.

What other lessons can be learnt from Jesus’ calming of the storms?

In the ship of hundred only one man can be a captain yet He has no such power to command the storms as Jesus did. Storms may represent areas of life that is full of sorrows and tribulations yet Jesus is the only solution.

What hope can one obtain, even when being attacked by the devil? 

Jesus is the only hope and the reason for our living, without the power of Jesus we can't do nothing. Jesus suffered, died and resurrected, no power of hell could hold Him. Even so, no demon has Dominion over us because Master Jesus lives in us.

In what way can we be a blessing to one another?

It will not be proper for us if we don't find other people progress. Jarius called Jesus to heal his daughter but before Jesus got to Jarius, the woman with an issue of blood got Jesus' attention and got her healing. This means that God's blessings and healing is for everyone.

Why did the people of Jesus' hometown reject Him? 

Jesus in His ministry faced a lot of accusations. He was despised and rejected by His own people maybe because of His teaching but He never gave up. Sometimes we do something better yet people around us do not seem satisfied because they are surrendered to evil.

What makes Jesus a different Kind of Messiah? 

There were scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees yet none of these matched up the level of Jesus. Jesus practiced both theory and practical ministry and this inspired people's lives. On the other hand, the Pharisees only practiced theory and this led to hatred and argument.

What lessons can we learn from Jesus’ feeding of the 5,000 people with few resources?

It may not be easy to share what you have with one another especially in the hard economy of the country, a little is enough when God is involved. This miracle also labels Jesus as the Good Shepherd Who cares for His sheep.

In conclusion,

Christ's ministry was to bring liberty to everyone bound by the devil and to set us above the standard of this world. What we can't do, through the power of the cross and resurrection has been made so easy to do because Jesus is involved. The life, miracles, teachings whispers of the mouth of Jesus brought many closer to His feet to learn and be saved. May God help us to truly accept Jesus into our hearts in Jesus' name.
