In the middle of the night, the disciples were in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, fighting against a severe headwind. Jesus came to them, walking on the water. Mark uses the language of theophany. When Jesus calls out to His terrified disciples with the words 'I am,' He is not simply identifying Himself as their Rabbi. He is declaring His divine name, the very name God revealed to Moses at the burning bush. The sea itself becomes a stage for this revelation, since scripture consistently identifies the stilling of chaotic waters as something only God can do. Jesus exercises sovereign dominion over both the chaos of nature and the powers of earthly rulers. The disciples' failure to grasp the significance of this moment is connected to their earlier failure to understand the miracle of the loaves. Both events are revelations of Christ's divine identity. We may take comfort in the fact that the Lord who sees his people in their distress has overcome the world and will never forsake his own.
