This story pictures Jesus in complete control of Himself and His environment. Its climax is not the stilling of the storm but the disciples" question about Jesus" identity ( Luke 8:25). This is the first miracle that Luke recorded that did not involve a person. It showed that Jesus had the power of God over nature that God demonstrated in the Exodus ( Exodus 14; cf. Psalm 89:8-9; Psalm 93:3-4; Psalm 106:8-9; Psalm 107:23-30; Isaiah 51:9-10). The disciples turned to Jesus for deliverance at sea just as people had called on God for salvation in similar situations.
