Matthew 8:23-27
The King who leads His disciples into the storm also rules the storm by His word.
23 When he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Behold, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 They came to him, and woke him up, saying, “Save us, Lord! We are dying!”
26 He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 The men marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
The King who leads his disciples into the storm also rules the storm by his word.
Matthew records Jesus calming the storm after his disciples follow him into the boat, revealing his authority over creation and exposing their little faith.
The boat is on the Sea of Galilee after Jesus gives orders to cross to the other side.
The Authority of Jesus over Uncleanness, Sickness, Discipleship, Storms, and Demons
The authoritative King who taught the kingdom now displays his authority over uncleanness, sickness, distance, discipleship, creation, and demons, calling forth true faith and costly following.
