On the way, He +falls asleep. However, on the way a windstorm comes up and threatens to sink +the boat. The disciples, four of whom were professional fishermen who worked on +this lake, realize they can't do anything to save themselves, so they wake up +Jesus. Once He is awake, He tells the wind to be quiet, and it does. + +He then asks His disciples a pointed question, "Where is your faith?" In light +of that, they didn't seem to expect Him to surely rescue them from the danger. +They woke Him in desperation, as last resort after trying everything else they +could. To be fair to the disciples, despite being close to Jesus, they were +still in the dark about His purposes and true nature. They knew He was the +Messiah, but not exactly what that meant yet. They had seen Him perform +miracles, but those have nearly all been healings so it is fair to say that +doesn't necessarily mean they should have known He could control the weather as +well. But maybe now they are starting see what had been hidden from them. + +* * * + +Let us see You as You truly are, glorious and majestic and worthy of all +praise.
