Who Is This Man?

Then Jesus got into the boat and started across the lake with his disciples. Suddenly, a fierce storm struck the lake, with waves breaking into the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!” Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm. The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!” [Matthew 8.23-27]

"Who is this man?"

Good question, right?

But even in the midst of all that took place, the disciples missed the more important question, "Why are you afraid?" This question from Jesus could be interpreted, "Who are you?"

To contemplate Who the Savior is without recognizing who the saved are, is a failure.

Father, my fears and failures reveal to me how little I really know about You. Please forgive me and help me to understand more. And, let my understanding then reveal Your power.
