Luke 8:22-25

This is an episode which leaves the disciples amazed. Jesus calms a storm by speaking. So, what kind of man is this? Our temptation is to consign this story to just that - a story - but not true. Let's face it these things don't happen very often.

We have to remember, though, that this is one of the events that Luke carefully checked out (see Luke 1:1-4 ). He wrote as an historian. So we should not be so hasty to dismiss it. In fact, this is another episode which reveals a little more of who Jesus was and is. As the disciples struggled to understand what just happened, they asked "Who then is this?"
