From Fear of the Storm to Awe of God
Commentators note the disciples' fear shifted from the storm to Jesus himself. They 'feared exceedingly,' not with terror, but with profound awe. As scholar A.T. Robertson notes, this incident opened their eyes to the majesty of Jesus, prompting their question, 'Who then is this?' A true encounter with Christ's power moves us from fearing our circumstances to holding God in reverent awe.
