The #political climate of this world could be described as #stormy. How can we find #calm or stillness? How does this story about the #disciples at sea resemble the life of a #Christian? Why did Jesus leave behind the crowd that came to hear him? Are Christians promised an easy life? Why did Jesus go off on His own without the disciples? When the storm hit the disciples, how does the book of Mark tell us that Jesus knew they were in trouble?

Next week, God willing, the connection between Christ and the bread.

#Doors and #gates are often mentioned in the Bible. They symbolize #transition. #Jesus Christ claimed to be not A door but rather, THE door. The door to what? Doors also exclude.
