Jesus Calms the Storm: A Poetic Reflection on Luke 8
Jesus Calms the Storm: A Poetic Reflection on Luke 8
Upon the Sea of Galilee, they sailed, Disciples with their Master hailed. A gentle journey soon turned wild, As waves and winds grew fierce and riled.
Jesus, asleep, in peace He lay, While chaos reigned where they did stay. The boat was tossed by nature’s might, And hearts were gripped with fear and fright.
“Master, Master, we’ll perish soon!” Cried the disciples, faces in gloom. With urgent calls, they woke their Lord, Who rose and spoke a calming word.
With authority, He rebuked the storm, “Peace, be still,” His voice so warm. The winds obeyed, the waves were tamed, Nature bowed at the One unnamed.
A calmness fell, serene and grand, As Jesus stood with outstretched hand. “Where is your faith?” He gently chided, Their fears and doubts He had divided.
In awe they whispered, hearts amazed, “Who is this Man?” their eyes all gazed. “Even the winds and waters heed, His command, His word, His creed.”
This tale of tempest, calm and peace, Speaks of faith that must increase. For in life’s storms, fierce and bleak, It’s Jesus’ strength that we must seek.
He calms the chaos, stills the waves, In His embrace, the heart He saves. Trust in Him through stormy night, And find in Him your guiding light.
