Who Is This?
Read the Story
Jesus told the parable of a farmer sowing seed. Some fell on the path, some on rock, some among thorns, and some on good soil. He explained that the seed is the word of God. The good soil is people who hear the word, hold it fast, and bear fruit.
One day Jesus fell asleep in a boat. A windstorm came, and the boat was filling with water. The disciples woke Him, crying that they were dying. Jesus rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was calm. He asked them where their faith was. They wondered who He was, since even the wind and water obey Him.
Jairus, a synagogue ruler, begged Jesus to come because his daughter was dying. On the way, a woman who had been sick for twelve years touched His cloak and was healed. Then word came that the girl had died. Jesus said not to be afraid, only believe. He took her hand, and she got up.
Memory Verse
