He painted in it 1633 and it beautifully illustrates the variety of reactions one might show while in the midst of a storm. Some of the men in the painting are panicking. Some are trying to control the boat. Some are at Jesus’s feet. An interesting thing about the painting is that in addition to the twelve disciples and Jesus in the boat, there is a fourteenth person. Rembrandt is known to have included himself somewhere in his paintings. He’s setting an example for us to find ourselves in the Gospel, bringing to God our stress and our sin, our hurts and our hopes. Some storms that we experience are dangerous. Others are storms of stress or not knowing what to do. Your storm might be a difficulty in your family, work, or ministry or something personal that you’re struggling with. No matter what it is, Jesus wants you to have peace. Just like in this story, He is sitting and waiting for you to be with Him. > [No matter what your storm is, Jesus wants you to have peace.
