Galilee had a mood on, lashing and clawing like a monster at one little boat. A dozen fellows rowed desperately to escape its fury. Harbor was across three miles of raging water. They were alone. That is, Jesus was not with them. If Jesus is not with people, they are always alone. Then suddenly they saw Him. He was like a ghost emerging out of the gloom and spray. It was unbelievable. He was walking, treading the waves under His feet like snarling wild creatures. He came right across to the boat and got in. Then, another inexplicable experience occurred they arrived at the shore straightaway. It was all real but so fantastic the disciples never forgot it, nor could they ever fathom it.
It goes without saying that the God Who created the universe knew how to handle all things in a storm, but so did Jesus. So Who is He? Need we ask? ‘In the beginning was the Word. All things were made by Him and nothing without Him’ (John 1:1-2). So, the job of getting a boat across to shore in a moment of time should be no problem to the One called ‘the Word.’ It only needs Him to arrange the locality of a few atoms.
Jesus, Himself is the Storm Handler, with power over every force of nature. Next week, we will look more closely at Jesus, the Maker.
It is easy to forget that Elisha started out as nothing more than a servant to Elijah; pouring water over Elijah’s hands and serving him in day-to-day banalities. But his posture of servant-hood put him in a position to receive a mantle.PRAISE GOD
BLESSED BE THE ONE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD
