"Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!"
That’s a good question. Who is this man that can even make wind and waves obey him?
He is certainly unique among men. The greatest of scientists has never been able to tame the wind or calm the waves. Jesus is the greatest of all men.
And it appears from this story that he is God himself. Who else could possibly have the power to calm the wind and the stop the waves?
And what must Jesus be able to do on my behalf? This story tells me that I can trust him to do whatever he says he can do. He can save me from the guilt and the practice of sin. He is greater than any of my problems and can deliver me through them all. And he even has the power to raise me from the dead.
As we take time to remember Jesus, let us rejoice in what this story tells us about him.
