“What Manner of Man Is This?”

Summary

In this sermon excerpt, R.C. Sproul explores the biblical account of Jesus calming a storm at sea, highlighting the disciples' initial fear of natural danger and their subsequent deeper terror upon witnessing Christ's supernatural power. The passage focuses on the disciples' reaction to Jesus' miraculous command over wind and waves, which transforms their physical fear into a profound spiritual awe and recognition of His divine authority. Sproul emphasizes that humans ultimately fear the holy presence of God more deeply than any external threat, revealing that true power lies not in controlling physical circumstances, but in understanding the transcendent nature of Christ.
