Matthew has crafted this carefully. Most scholars think that Mark has written first and that Matthew is making some kind of revision to Mark. But Matthew has a different beginning to the story. It links it to these other stories. Look at verse 23. When he was entered into a ship, his disciples did what? Followed him. So follow, follow, follow. That is the repreated refrain here. And then in verse 24, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea. There's bigger implications to this for your discipleship. This is basically about discipleship. If you're going to follow me, this is a long term ride. And it's going to be storm
Dr. Joshua Sears continues to examine the relationship between faith, miracles, and how Jesus Christ brings peace to life’s storms. Dr. Sears relates that discipleship involves action and sacrifice.
