Which miracle demonstrates Jesus' authority over nature?

• A. Walking on water
• B. Feeding the 5000
• C. Healing a deaf man
• D. Calming the storm

Answer: (D)

Calming the storm shows Jesus exercising control over nature itself. In that moment, a dangerous, chaotic sea is silenced simply by his command—“Peace, be still.” The wind dies down and the waves settle, revealing that natural forces respond to him. That direct, immediate obedience of weather and sea highlights authority over the created order.

Other miracles reveal power in different ways—walking on water touches the realm of the physical surface, feeding the five thousand shows provision through supernatural abundance, and healing a deaf man demonstrates authority over illness. But when nature itself is brought to calm by a spoken command, it most clearly demonstrates control over the natural world.
