The disciples woke him and said to him Teacher dont you care if we drown.
Stern of a boat jesus. Matthew 823-34 Luke 822-39. Both the fore and aft sections were probably decked in although the preserved remains did not reach this height. While the stern is the back part of the boat the transom is the vertical area where the two sides of the hull come together.
The Jesus Boat had a rounded stern and a fine bow. 3He got into one of the boats the one belonging to Simon and asked him to put out a little from shore. My hope and prayer is that you would be fascinated with the awesomeness of Jesus.
There were also other boats with him. And other boats were with Him. 37 A furious squall came up and the waves broke over the boat so that it was nearly swamped.
1One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God 2he saw at the waters edge two boats left there by the fishermen who were washing their nets. Otherwise Jesus would have gotten wet and the winds would have awakened Him. So they woke him up and said to him Teacher.
At some point our boat fills up with water and it isnt until our safe place starts to sink we relinquish control over to the Lord. As a human being he had to grow up and mature and suffer limitations just like any other man. The boat was larger than a row boat.
How often we forget that Jesus is in the stern waiting for you to call upon Him and let Him take control. And so the next that we see of Him is that as soon as He gets into the ship He falls fast asleep on the wooden pillow-a hard bed for His head-in the stern of the little fishing boat and there He lies so tired-let us put it into plain prose and strip away the false veil of big words with which we invest that nature-so tired that the storm does not awake Him. Jesus in the Boat.
