Matthew is building a picture for us of Jesus – The king who rules and the saviour who cares. In just these few short verses we see Jesus the man (needing to sleep) and Jesus the commander of creation (calming the storm). I’m so glad we have a saviour who understands our fears, has experience of our storms, knows our weaknesses and the smallness of our faith and has the power to help. When I remember that this is his world and that he rules over it and he is with me, I can know peace in a storm.
Question to Ponder
How does remembering that Jesus, the ruler of creation, cares for you encourage your heart and your faith today?
