24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!" 26 He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
It must have felt really odd to the disciples that Jesus was able to catch some sleep in the middle of such a ferocious storm. I would definitely be sitting down somewhere holding on for dear life. These verses give great insight into the human side of Jesus as it shows us that He needed to take time to rest after a busy schedule.
It is also a beautiful picture of Jesus almighty power. How awesome would it have been to be a fly on the wall on that one, just one word and the seas calmed completely.
