I read that the Sea of Galilee is in a low-lying position in the rift valley (680 feet below sea level), surrounded by hills, making it prone to sudden violent storms. Mark 4:37, Luke 8:23, and Matthew 8:24-26 tell us that one of these storms arose while Jesus and his disciples were on a boat on the Sea. These storms are so violent (even today) that ships often sank, which is why Peter “awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.” Of course, we all remember Jesus’ kind, sweet words to Peter, “Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?”

Thank you for sharing this!
