Jesus Calms the Storm - (Extracted from the Bible)
Jesus got into the boat and his disciples followed him. Without warning, a furious storm came up to the lake, so that the waves swept up the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples woke him saying, "Lord, save us. We are going to drown!" He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm. The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him."
The Healing of Two Demon-possessed Men
When Jesus arrived at the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no man could pass that way. "What do you want with us, Son of God?" they shouted. "Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?
Some distance from there a large herd of pigs was feeding.
The demons begged Jesus, "If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs." He said to them, "Go!" So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this. Then the whole town went out and pleaded with Jesus to leave their region.
Jesus Heals a Paralytic
Jesus came to his own town. Some men brought him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart son; your sins are forgiven." At this time, some teachers of law said to themselves, "This fellow is blaspheming!"
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or say, 'Get up and walk? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." Then he said to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home." And the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man.
I believe that Jesus Christ is God's own son who became a man
so that he could die for our sins.
