Matthew 8:23 - 8:27
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this analysis of Matthew 8:23-8:27, Steve Gregg explores the story of Jesus calming a storm while on a boat with his disciples. The story illustrates the true identity of Jesus, though not immediately understood by his disciples. As Gregg notes, Jesus' power to calm the storm with a rebuke demonstrates his divine authority, which was a source of amazement to his disciples. Further, Gregg suggests that there is some possibility that the storm was not a natural occurrence, but rather a product of spiritual forces that Jesus rebuked. Ultimately, Gregg argues that this story provides powerful evidence of Jesus' divine identity and his authority over natural and spiritual forces.
