Bible Study on Matthew 8, verses 23 to 27, Lord, save us, we perish

 


Matthew 8:23 ¶  And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24  And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25  And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26  And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27  But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

 

Notice this Psalm;

 

Psalm 107:23 ¶  They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; 24  These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep. 25  For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof. 26  They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. 27  They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end. 28  Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. 29  He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. 30  Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

 

Christ, God in human flesh, has power over the elements. He is present in the storm but He is not the storm. See the following also;

 

Psalm 65:7  Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.

 

Psalm 89:8  O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 9  Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
