    During his life on earth,


    Jesus asked lots of questions.
    That was true thenand its true now.
    The Gospels are packed with Jesus questions.
    Questions that prompted conversations.
    Raised issues. Opened eyes to flashes of
    discovery and insight.
    And Jesus questions tended to
    follow people home, to roll around in their minds,
    to insist on answers.
    Sohere are 40 opportunities to answer them.
    Youll respond to questions Jesus posed to people
    around him. And as you do, youll invite Jesus into
    conversations about what his questions reveal
    about himand what your answers
    reveal about you.

    So come hear his voice.


    Feel his presence.
    And experience time with Jesus that
    refreshes your spirit, sparks fresh
    insight, and draws the two of you
    closer together.

    CENTER YOUR LIFE ON JESUS

    Then he got into the boat and his


    disciples followed him. Suddenly
    a furious storm came up on the
    lake, so that the waves swept over
    the boat.
    But Jesus was sleeping.
    The disciples went and woke him,
    saying, Lord, save us! Were 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.
    Matthew 8:23-26, NIV

    CENTER YOUR LIFE ON JESUS

    Why are you so afraid


    Jesus disciples never seem to have accused him
    of asking a stupid question.
    But if it ever did happen, it happened here.
    Late in the day, a sudden squall
    caught Jesus and his followers in
    open water on the Sea of Galilee.
    The wind rose, the sky darkened,
    rain slashed the disciples
    faces. And as calm water roiled
    into white-capped waves, the
    disciples knew: This is where
    theyd die.
    Water cascaded over the hull of
    the wooden boat, swamping the
    already-floundering vessel.
    And then the full fury of the
    storm crashed in on them.
    Shaken awake, Jesus looked
    into the faces of his terrified
    disciples and shouted over the
    screaming gale: Why are you
    so afraid?
    Why were they afraid? Afraid?
    Wasnt it obvious?
    The disciples stared at one
    another, thinking, Even a
    carpenters kid should see
    whats happening here.

    But theyd misunderstood the


    question.
    Jesus was really asking, Why
    are you so afraidwhen Im
    with you?
    Fair question.
    Theyd gotten to know Jesus.
    Heard him teach. Seen him
    perform miracles.
    Sort of like you.
    Youve gotten to know Jesus.
    Heard him teach. Perhaps seen
    his power shine in your life and
    the lives of people you know.
    So why are you afraid? Of loss.
    Death. Living a life of Jesuscentered abandon?
    Given that Jesus is with you
    why are you so afraid?
    And what might set you free
    from your fear?

    CENTER YOUR LIFE ON JESUS
