Expectations We Have of God
First look at the disciples -Jesus spent his whole ministry teaching and demonstrating God’s power so that they would always have faith in God and his willingness to deliver
In Mark chapter 3
Jesus had healed a man with a withered hand
He ordained the 12 disciples that they should be with him and also be sent out to preach and heal the sick and cast out demons
In chapter 4, Jesus had spent all day teaching about the kingdom
Jesus called the parable of the sower a mystery of the kingdom
vs. 21-23 talks about how a candle is used to bring light and in the same way nothing is hid in the kingdom.
Everything will be made known.
vs. 24-25 Jesus explains that they need to be careful what they hear, if they hear (the truth that Jesus was teaching) even more will be given
vs. 26-29 Jesus describes growth in the kingdom which will be followed by a harvest
vs 30-32 Jesus compares the kingdom to a mustard seed, it starts small but will in the end become the greatest
Jesus ends the day by telling his disciples that they all need to cross over the sea to the other side.
Jesus had taught them about the kingdom, but they were about to experience the power of the kingdom first hand
Jesus was asleep
One can only sleep deeply when he is at peace
Jesus knew he was in the will of God
The disciples woke Jesus saying, don’t you care that we are going to die?
The boat was about full of water -they likely had done everything they could before waking Jesus
It isn’t clear what they expected Jesus to do -they clearly didn’t expect what Jesus was about to do.
I don’t believe it entered their mind -but they wanted him to help somehow.
Jesus rebuked the wind and told the sea, Peace, be still.
He then asked the disciples two questions:
Why are you so fearful?
How come you don’t have any faith?
Jesus clearly showed what his expectations were for his disciples
The calm sea and wind produced even greater fear in the disciples.
They were still learning what was all possible.
Their expectations were being increased.
Chapter 5:1-20 Jesus encounters a demon possessed man
This was the whole reason they crossed the sea.
Sometimes we face opposition to following God’s will but we can always overcome it by staying in peace and exercising our authority as children of God.
Jesus immediately told the spirits to leave
When the people of the area saw the man healed -they were afraid, but by now the disciples were likely expecting this.
It doesn’t mention that they were afraid this time.
v. 19 -We can learn that Jesus has compassion on those in bondage -he came to set the captives free!
Jesus crossed the sea just to do this.
The disciples expectations of God were continuing to grow.
The man asked Jesus if he could follow him, but Jesus said, No.
Instead Jesus told him to testify how Jesus had compassion on him.
He went out and shared his story in the area of Decapolis.
Jesus’ expectation was for him to go and testify
Jesus crosses the sea
vs. 22-24 -a synagogue ruler asked Jesus to heal his daughter so Jesus starts heading to his house
This man expected that if Jesus would lay hands on her that she would be healed
vs. 25-34 a woman comes and is healed by simply touching Jesus clothing
Why?
Because that is what she expected.
There were crowds of people around Jesus and none of them were healed -they didn’t need anything so they didn’t receive anything

They only looked with their natural eyes
