Editor's Notes
- Ask children where they live, then say out names of towns and ask if they know or heard of it. Then say names of countries and lastly ask if they know or heard of SEA OF GALILEE
- Let’s pray and ask God to help us learn more about the Sea of Galilee and about Jesus……“Dear God, Thank you for this day and for all the people who are here in your house this morning. Thank you for sending Jesus to be with us always and to help us when we go through hard times. Help us to learn to trust you and remember how much you love us no matter what is happening in our lives. AMEN.”
- INTRODUCE THE SEA OF GALILEEIt is a heart-shaped lake about 21 km (14 miles) long and 13 km (six miles) across. It is located in the province of Galilee about 60 miles northeast of Jerusalem and 27 miles east of the Mediterranean Sea. The river Jordan enters it at its northern end and passes out at its southern end. The water of the lake is quite deep, sweet, cool and transparent and the beach is very pebbly and sparkly. The sea is full of fish even still today, just as it was during Jesus’ times
- The Sea of Galilee is sometimes also called the Sea of Tiberias (named for the city on its shore) and the Lake of Gennesaret from the beautiful fertile plain located to the northwest.Jesus spent most of his public life in the environment of this sea.Situated in a basin surrounded by a wall of mountains, the Sea of Galilee is particularly susceptible to frequent, sudden, violent storms.
- The fishing boat during Jesus’ time.
- Sea of Galilee is actually a large lake. Many of the stories of Jesus took place near the shores of the Sea of Galilee.Jesus’ first disciples were fishermen there.
- The sea can be very calm, still and relaxing.
- Listen to the Sea of Galilee.
- Cool air from the Mediterranean is drawn down through the narrow mountain passes and clashes with the hot, humid air lying over the lake. Indeed the Lake was notorious for its storms. They literally came out of the blue with shattering and terrifying suddenness, often when the sky was perfectly clear.
- What would you do if you are on this boat?
- This story is one of the miracles of Jesus. After spending all day teaching the multitudes, Jesus asked his disciples to take him to the other side of the lake. The recounting of the calming of the storm in Mark is the first “nature” miracle that is recorded. . Added to Jesus’ authority over disease and death is his control of the physical elements of the universe. “He commands even wind and water and they obey him.” Jesus quickly falls asleep on the cushion in the stern of the boat . . . obviously worn out from a long day of teaching.
- A sudden and unexpected storm rises.
- Despite the sudden storm, Jesus sleeps on, indicative of quiet trust even in the midst of terrifying circumstances.
- But the disciples interpret his sleeping as indifference and wake him, reproaching him with the question, “Do you not care if we perish?” Their question indicates their own lack of trust and faith.
- Jesus first acts . . . rebuking the wind, “Peace! Be still!” then chides the disciples for their lack of faith. Even though the disciples are constantly with Jesus, witnessing his healings and exorcisms, hearing his teachings, they still lack faith and trust in Jesus’ saving powers.
- The disciples’ question, “Who is this?” is the question posed by the Gospel as a whole. The disciples are filled with awe as they begin to understand the divine nature of Jesus. This is no mere human being. Jesus has God’s power to still the storm.
- Given the fact that at least four of Jesus’ disciples were fishermen, and must have experienced similar storms before (the storms were frequent events on the Sea of Galilee), their terror indicates the severity of the storm. When the disciples realized the presence of Jesus with them, the storm became a calm and a fearless peace entered their hearts. To voyage with Jesus was to travel in peace even in the midst of a storm. This is a universal truth. It is something that still happens today and can happen for each of us. “In the presence of Jesus we can have peace even in the wildest storms of life.”
