What does the Bible say about Jesus' authority over nature?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible shows Jesus' authority over nature through his ability to calm storms and command the wind and water, demonstrating his divine power.
In the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, we see a profound instance of Jesus' authority over nature. In verse 25, the disciples wonder, 'what manner of man is this?' after Jesus commands the wind and the waves to cease, and they obey him. This narrative reveals not only Jesus' divinity as the Son of God but also his sovereign control over creation. He created the heavens and the earth, and therefore, they respond to his command. As articulated in Colossians 1:16, 'For by him were all things created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible.' The calming of the storm showcases that nothing is too hard for God, reinforcing our faith in his sovereignty over all aspects of life.
