Can you imagine the shock of the disciples when Jesus stopped a storm in its tracks on the Sea of Galilee? Of all the things they'd seen Jesus do, nothing had rattled them quite like the day he let them know he was in charge of nature.

It'll help if you know why a storm could gather so quickly on the famous lake. Here's a short lesson that will have a long impact on the way you picture one of the most famous stories about the ministry of Jesus.

The land of the Bible can give us amazing insight into some of the most well-known Bible passages. Sometimes, it can even allow us to glimpse inside the hearts of the people we meet in the Bible.

One day, Jesus was approached by a man who wanted to follow him. So far, so good.

Then the man explains that he can't follow immediately, because his father had just died.

What did Jesus say to a grieving son? "Let the dead bury their own dead!"

And we're left scratching our heads, wondering how the Good Shepherd could leave such an insensitive remark on the funeral home visitation register.

Maybe we missed something.
