Who is this?

Ever been on a lake when the wind was blowing and the waves were choppy? The disciples--many seasoned fishermen--were freaked out by a severe storm (Mk.4). Jesus "rebuked the wind...and the wind died down and it became perfectly calm." That's amazing--"perfectly calm". The disciples response? "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him" (Mk.4:41). Jesus' exercise of divine authority is a comfort to me as I see a world in turmoil; wrong promoted as right and right vilified as wrong; the wicked seemingly prospering and the righteous suffering; so many chasing satisfaction in fame, fortune, and fancy stuff; class envy, greed, people proud of and rewarded for violating the law; politicians promoting their own selfish agenda under the guise of "concern for others"; and unrest throughout the world. I look to the one who is in charge, trust Him to lead the way forward, and pray that many others will turn to Him as well.
