The Sea of Galilee is full again. Water laps against the sand. Trees stick out of the water. That looks silly!

But no one can see the trees. Everyone is at home.

READ MORE: The Sea of Galilee is in Israel. It is also called Lake Kinneret. Winter rains filled the lake. It hasn’t had so much water in twenty years! The lake is full. But its beaches are empty. They are closed. No one can see the full lake for now. Jesus spent time by the Sea of Galilee. Remember when He calmed the lake’s stormy waves? “And He said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?’ Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm,” says Matthew 8:26.
