Who Can This Be?

If we go to Matthew, Chapter 8 and verse 27:
“So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?”

I want to encourage you in this difficult time in which we are living in the world, to focus on The Lord Jesus Christ. He is the One who calms the winds and the sea.

In the archives in Rome, there is a report written, nearly 2000 years ago, by a Roman, (His name was Publius Lentulus) to his emperor, Tiberius. It reads:
There has appeared in Palestine, a man, who is still living and whose power is extraordinary. He has the title given him of, “Great Prophet”. His disciples call him the Son of God. He raises the dead and heals all sorts of diseases. He is a tall, well-proportioned man and there is an air of severity in his countenance which at once attracts the love and reverence of those who see him. His hair is the color of new wine, from the roots to the ears and thence to the shoulders, it is curled and falls down to the lowest part of them. Upon the forehead, it parts after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead is flat and fair. His face is without blemish or defect and adorned with a graceful expression. His nose and mouth are very well-proportioned. His beard is thick and the color of His hair. His eyes are grey and extremely lively. In his reproof, he is terrible but in his exhortations, and instructions, amiable and courteous. There is something wonderfully charming in his face, with a mixture of gravity. He is never seen to laugh but has been observed to weep. He is very straight in stature. His hands are large and spreading. His arms are very beautiful. He talks little but with great quality and is the handsomest man in the world.
