26And 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. 27But the men marveled, saying, what manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him! (Matthew 8: 26-27)
In the Gospel of Matthew we see that Christ has power over creation. He is able to calm a storm with just a word. These are attributes of God and this is consistent with what we learned about God as creator from the Old Testament. The clear message from these verses of Matthew is that Christ has attributes of the Creator.
How powerful is Christ? The answer is that He has the power of the very God who called the universe into existence. The implication of this to our lives is profound. The action of Christ in our lives brings a calm in the midst of any storm. When you are fearful about anything remember your savior is able to calm any trouble or fear. Nothing is outside of His providence. The Creator is calmer.
