What Manner of Man is This?

“And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, what manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him? (Mark 4:41)

This is the eighth in a series of Biblical questions. There was a storm on the Sea of Galilee.  The wind was howling, waves were very high and the sailors were afraid their little ship was going to sink.  Their Special Passenger, the Lord Jesus Christ, was on board the ship and was asleep in the back part of the boat. They awakened Him and He rebuked the wind and sea and said, “Peace, be still. And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.” Mark 4:39)

So, now, they wanted to know, what manner of man is this. Many men, much smarter than I, have been preaching and teaching about this man and attempting to answer this question for centuries.  He is the Son of God, the image of the invisible God, the creator of the universe, the sustainer who holds it all together, the head of the church, the Savior of all mankind who place their faith in Him and He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother and He cares about you and all your problems.
