Almighty God, may you guide us to seek the Truth:
come whence it may, cost what it will, lead where it might. Amen.
“Who
then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?” If we read Mark
chronologically, then by the time this storm arises on the sea of Galilee, the
disciples have already been called by Jesus, have witnessed him heal people,
and have heard his first parables. Perhaps the disciples were beginning to put
together that there is something different about Jesus. That night on the
waters, a violent storm popped up and Jesus calms the wind and the waves. And
so they ask the question that has been asked, fought over, and prayed over for
thousands of years- “who, then, is this?”
