*UNDERSTANDING THE ACTS AND WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST (77)*
_And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but Jesus was asleep. And they went and woke Him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." And He said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"_ (Matt 8:24-27). This is one portion of Scripture where there is full expression of Jesus' full humanity and full divinity. Jesus' act of falling in deep sleep is an expression of His full humanity. Jesus is fully human: He works hard, does much public speaking, and deals with many different people, all of whom want something from Him. Given the strains ordinary ministers experience in their daily work, the fully human Jesus must have been exhausted during His ministry. And therefore taking some time to rest - a deep sleep.
Though Jesus is fully human, He also has full confidence in His divine identity: fully God. The interaction of these personalities are beyond human comprehension. For Jesus, the storm was a small thing. He was so relaxed and confident while lying down, and He said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" then He rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. His sleeping act was human, but the act of calming the storm and the sea was divine. A display of sovereign control over nature. Do you even realize that He never even first prayed to the Father to calm the storm but spoke to it with authority? To this, His disciples marveled, because they knew only God Almighty could do this, but here was a man standing before them with such authority! The manifestation of Jesus' two identities (God and Man) was determined by the demands of the occasions. Though God lives in you, it's wisdom to recognize your humanity; it's limitations and proper function.
