In this Gospel, a major squall comes up while Jesus and the disciples are on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus is sleeping in the heart of the boat, just like he slept in the heart of the earth during the time he was in the tomb. Jesus is awakened, as he was in the resurrection, and commands the wind and the waves to stop. The wind and waves obey, which shows Jesus is God and has authority over these things, just like he does over sin and death. Upon seeing this, the disciples become afraid with great fear, and they ask: "Who then is this whom even wind and sea obey?"
Jesus is God, so the wind and sea follow his word. Let us do the same.
