Read Luke 8:22-25
While he was sleeping…the storm crept in and overtook the boat.
Jesus was nudged awake to the terrible news. “We are dying!” shouted the disciples.
Jesus then rebuked the wind and waves, and then his disciples for lack of faith. Did they really believe they were about to die? Fear had seized their hearts and blocked their faith.
After seeing what Jesus did to calm the storm, now their fears moved to Jesus (one more powerful than the storm). Who is he? None other than God.
Reality was setting in for the followers of Jesus. If he can command the weather, then…
All other fear is an illusion. There is nothing to fear as long as you are with Jesus. They would soon learn that Jesus commands more authority than they could comprehend. And in His name all other authorities tremble.
