“And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” — Mark 4:39 (ESV)
In the S12E3 study on Mark 4:39 and Ephesians 6:15, why did Roman military sandals ('caligae') have heavy iron studs hammered into their soles?
✨ PERSONAL LESSON
Peace That Grips the Mud in the Storm
“And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Peace! Be still! And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.”
Notice that Jesus already told the disciples, 'Let us pass over to the other side' (Mark 4:35)—not 'Let us go drown in the middle of the lake.' When the Prince of Peace is in your boat, the storm cannot cancel your destination.
SAY THIS ALOUD
“My feet are shod with the Gospel of Peace; I stand firm even when the wind blows.”
