4. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic, largest ship afloat, left
Southampton, England on her maiden voyage to New York
City. The White Star Line had spared no expense in assuring
her luxury. A legend even before she sailed, her passengers
were a mixture of the world's wealthiest basking in the
elegance of first class accommodations and immigrants
packed into steerage.
5. She was touted as the safest ship ever built, so safe that she carried
only 20 lifeboats - enough to provide accommodation for only half
her 2,200 passengers and crew. This discrepancy rested on the belief
that since the ship's construction made her "unsinkable," her
lifeboats were necessary only to rescue survivors of other sinking
ships. Additionally, lifeboats took up valuable deck space.
6. Four days into her journey, at 11:40 P.M. on the night of April 14,
she struck an iceberg. Her fireman compared the sound of the
impact to "the tearing of calico, nothing more." However, the
collision was fatal and the icy water soon poured through the ship.
7. It became obvious that many would not find safety in a lifeboat.
Each passenger was issued a life jacket but life expectancy would
be short when exposed to water four degrees below freezing. As
the forward portion of the ship sank deeper, passengers
scrambled to the stern.
8. John Thayer witnessed the sinking from a lifeboat. "We could
see groups of the almost fifteen hundred people still aboard,
clinging in clusters or bunches, like swarming bees; only to fall in
masses, pairs or singly, as the great after part of the ship, two
hundred and fifty feet of it, rose into the sky, till it reached a
sixty-five or seventy degree angle." The great ship slowly slid
beneath the waters two hours and forty minutes after the
collision
9. The next morning, the liner Carpathia rescued 705 survivors.
One thousand five hundred twenty-two passengers and crew
were lost. Subsequent inquiries attributed the high loss of life to
an insufficient number of lifeboats and inadequate training in
their use.
10.
11. One evening Jesus said to
His disciples, ‘Come with
me across the lake.’
8:22 Pada suatu hari Yesus
naik ke dalam perahu
bersama-sama dengan
murid-murid-Nya, dan Ia
berkata kepada mereka:
"Marilah kita bertolak ke
seberang danau." Lalu
bertolaklah mereka.
12. They set out in the boat that
Jesus was already sitting in.
Mereka duduk di perahu
bersama-sama dengan
YESUS
13. Jesus was in the back of
the boat. He was tired and
fell asleep with His head
on a pillow.
YESUS berada di belakang
perahu. Ia merasa lelah dan
tertidur dengan bantal di
kepala-Nya.
14. As can happen on Galilee
a fierce wind swept across
the water. The waves grew
large and started sweeping
over the sides of the boat.
Seperti yang dapat terjadi di danau Galilea,
angin yang kencang menyapu air. Gelombang
semakin besar dan mulai menyapu sisi perahu.
15. There were experienced
fishermen on board but
they became afraid the
boat would be swamped.
Para nelayan yang handal dan
berpengalaman itu mulai merasa
takut kalau-kalau perahu mereka
akan disapu ombak dan tenggelam.
16. The disciples went to
Jesus and woke Him.
‘Teacher, do you care
about us?’ they shouted.
‘We will drown!’
Maka murid-murid-Nya membangunkan Dia dan berkata
kepada-Nya: "Guru, Engkau tidak perduli kalau kita binasa?"
17. Jesus stood up in the
swaying boat and
addressed the storm.
Ia pun bangun, menghardik
angin itu dan berkata
kepada danau itu:
18. ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Jesus
ordered.
"Diam! Tenanglah!“ YESUS memerintahkan.
21. Jesus spoke to those in
the boat, ‘Why are you
afraid? Do you still have no
faith?’
Lalu Ia berkata kepada
mereka: "Mengapa kamu
begitu takut? Mengapa
kamu tidak percaya?"

2 FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.
After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.
35. 3. HE HAD NEVER IGNORED EVEN

2 FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND
This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."
He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."
37. 4. LITTLE FAITH”

And he saith unto them,
Why are ye fearful, O ye of
little faith? Then he arose,
and rebuked the winds
and the sea; and there
was a great calm.
