Disciple (Week Four)-- Come and See Questions for Reflection and Discussion

Read Mark 4:35-41

1. Why is it significant that Jesus instructed his disciples to go over to the other side of the lake during the evening?
2. How serious was the storm? Why do you think the disciples reacted the way they did?
3. Mark, Matthew and Luke all make a point of saying that Jesus fell asleep. What are we to learn from this?
4. How do you think the disciple’s attitude toward Jesus changed on account of this event?
5. Why do you think Jesus responded to the disciples the way he did?
6. Why were the disciples “terrified”?

Discuss: “Storms are intended to drive us to deeper dependence!”
