He Marks Our Fears

There are three “greats” (mega) in the account of the storm. A
great storm, a great calm, and a great fear. The great fear of
who this man is will be the most rewarding of the three
megas!
Jesus has now proven his authority over all creation.
Jesus was asleep as a man but under full control as Creator of
the universe.
Jesus was given authority to create the world from the
Father.
He challenges his disciples to exercise faith when there is no
control.
Control is a mirage in the face of God’s sovereignty.
Fear can lead to despair in believing that God does not
care.
The internal storms in us emanate from not fully believing that
God is with us and in control.
His promises will carry us to the “other side.”
