Being Troubled or Disquieted

Introduction In this lesson, we focus upon a Greek word family which communicates the concept of being troubled or disquieted. – These words describe physical disturbances. – They also depict disturbances of the spirit. Let us consider the causes of spiritual turmoil, and note the divine prescription for inner peace.

Defined The Greek verb tarassō, occurring 18x in the NT, means “to stir up, to trouble.” The related noun tarachē, occurring once, refers to “a disturbance, stirring up.” The noun tarachos, occurring twice, refers to “disturbance, trouble.”

Physical Disturbances These words describe physical disturbances, like the miraculous stirring of the water at the Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-9, esp. vs. 4 & 7).

The Disciples on Galilee The disciples’ response to Jesus walking on the water: “When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear.” (Matt. 14:22-27, esp. vs. 26; Mark 6:45-52, esp. vs. 50)

The Appearance of the Angel Zacharias’ response to the appearance of the angel: “Zacharias was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him.” (Luke 1:8-17, esp. vs. 12)

The Disappearance of Peter The soldiers’ response to Peter’s disappearance from prison: “Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.” (Acts 12:1-19, esp. vs. 18)

Selfish Discontent King Herod demonstrated selfish discontent upon hearing of the Messiah’s birth (Matt. 2:1-23, esp. vs. 3). Let us avoid the sin of bitterness, jealousy and envy (James 3:13-18).

Opposing Truth Unbelieving Jews opposed the truth by stirring up the crowds in Thessalonica and Berea (Acts 17:1-15, esp. vs. 8 & 13). Demetrius the silversmith caused a great disturbance in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-41, esp. vs. 23). In contrast with those who do not manifest a love of the truth so as to be saved, let us believe and obey the truth (2 Thess. 2:10-15).

False Teachers False teachers, such as the Judaizers, disturb the brethren by distorting the pure gospel (Acts 15:22-29, esp. vs. 24; Gal. 1:6-9, esp. vs. 7; 5:7-12, esp. vs. 10). Rather, let us hold fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, to exhort in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict (Titus 1:9-16).

The Example of Christ In connection with the death of Lazarus, Jesus demonstrated compassion (John 11:30-44; Heb. 4:14-16). In contemplating the cross, Jesus demonstrated conviction (John 12:27-33; Heb. 2:14-18). In announcing the betrayal, Jesus demonstrated consternation (John 13:21-30; Ps. 41:9; 55:12-15).

The Counsel of Christ Trust in the Lord’s promises (John 14:1-6). Trust in the Lord’s provision (John 14:25-31). Trust in times of perplexity (Luke 24:36-49). Trust in times of persecution (1 Pet. 3:13-22).

Conclusion Let us develop the faith and fortitude to handle those occasions when turmoil invades our lives (Isa. 26:1-4; John 16:33). Shunning selfish attitudes that give rise to sinful conflict, may we devote ourselves to pursuing the path of peace (Phil. 4:4-9; Col. 3:12-17).
