Mark 4:39 And He awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!"

Does one warning work in your family? Think of the many sentences that need to be said over and over: "Eat your vegetables." "Do your homework." "Go to sleep." You've uttered those sentences almost every day.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if just one sentence was enough? Vegetables eaten. Homework done. Lights out and sleeping. It's a great idea, but don't count on it.

But that's the wonderful power of Jesus' words. In the middle of the storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus only needed to say, "Peace! Be still! Immediately, there was a great calm. His words showed both His power and His care for the frightened disciples.

Jesus has that same power and care for us. His word of peace has echoed over the world from His birth to today. Look at the nativity scene that captures the night of His birth. See the peace, calm, and stillness. The angels announced peace to the world. That gift still resonates over us. The Savior's peace comes by His word and silences our fears. His word silenced the storm on the sea, and His peace reigns over us today.
