Faith of Jesus Christ

Revelation 14 – “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” 

The Spirit of God has not ceased to speak to His people since the Voice of God walked with Adam in the Garden of Eden. The Scriptures record some of these conversations. God spoke to the people through Moses, through the Prophets, and through His Son (the Word made flesh). Jesus continued this communication to our day with the instruction, “Keep my commandments and the Father and I will come inside and lead and guide you – from the inside.” Do you have faith?

Ch. 31 – JESUS STILLS THE STORM

ONE DAY Jesus said to his disciples:

“Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.”

They launched forth in a ship and other little ships sailed with them. There arose a great storm which lashed the waves and beat them so so high that they broke over the ship. The boat rapidly filled with water while Jesus slept on a pillow in the stern.

As they were in great peril, his disciples wakened Jesus, saying:

“Lord, save us! We perish!”

Jesus arose, saying:

“Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?”

Then Jesus rebuked the winds and said to the sea:

“Peace, be still.”

The wind ceased and the sea grew calm. Jesus said to his disciples:

“Why are ye fearful? Have ye not yet faith?”

The disciples were afraid and wondering. They said to one another:

“What manner of man is is this? For he commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey him.
