Jesus' Power over the Natural (Matthew 8:23-27)

Jesus is Lord.  He is Lord over diseases.  He is Lord over creation. He is Lord over nature.  He is Lord over all.  In today’s passage, we see the Lord traveling across the Sea of Galilea.  He just finished the Sermon on the Mount and has spent the remaining time healing people of diseases.  He is exhausted.  He falls asleep in the boat and a storm that the disciples have not experienced before comes upon them.  They are afraid.  The Lord still sleeps.  They are afraid they are going to drown.  They forget that they are with the Lord of creation.  What happens?  This message takes us right into the boat with them.
