Who is Jesus?

Jesus Himself asked that question. Jesus asked His disciples “Who do people say I am?” The disciples answered, " Some say you are John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and other say Jeremiah, or one of the prophets." Then Jesus asked His disciples, “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus said, “Blessed are you Simon Peter; for no man told you this, but my Father which is in heaven.”

People today also have their own answer to that question. But how can people really answer the question, unless they have read about Him. We hope this site will help you to find the answer to the question, “Who is Jesus?”

Jesus Calms the Storm


This lesson is taken from Matthew 8:23-27

Jesus got into a boat and His disciples followed Him. Just think, it would have to be a good size boat to hold so many people. Usually in the time of the Bible, if a boat was very big, it would have oars and sails. During a storm the sails are taken down to keep them from getting torn up, and to help make the boat easier to control.

Well, while Jesus and His disciples were out on the lake, Jesus fell asleep. Without any warning a terrible storm came up on the lake. The storm was so bad that the waves came up over the boat. Many of Jesus disciples were fishermen, and they knew how dangerous a storm could be. The disciples became afraid of the storm, so they went and woke Jesus up. They said to Jesus, “Lord! Save us! We're going to drown!' But, Jesus said to them, “You of little faith, why are you afraid!” Jesus got up and very sharply scolded the winds and the waves. Then everything became completely calm.

The disciples were surprise at what Jesus did. And they asked each other, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey Him!” You see even after seeing all the miracles that Jesus had done, the disciples still didn't understand who Jesus was. They didn't know that Jesus could control nature, too!

It was Jesus' power that calmed the storm in the our lesson, and Jesus can also help you deal with problems in your own life. Jesus is willing to help you, if you will only ask Him. You should never doubt Jesus' powers, just trust Him to help you.
