Stillen der Sturm

Jesus stands in a storm-tossed boat with His hand raised toward the raging sky, commanding the wind and waves to be still. Around Him the disciples strain at the oars and rigging as lightning splits the darkness, the sail whips in the gale, and the Sea of Galilee rises violently against the hull.

The artwork depicts the Gospel miracle often called Stilling the Storm, when Christ rebuked the wind and the sea and revealed His divine authority over creation. The disciples’ fear gives way to awe as they ask, “Who then is this, that even winds and sea obey him?” This subject is well suited for sermons, Bible lessons, church media, faith-in-trials themes, and teaching on Christ’s power, presence, and call to trust.
