How Did Jesus’ Actions Support His Claims of Divinity?
Jesus’ words, although impressive, were sometimes ignored or dismissed; however, the miracles he performed were difficult to discount or dispute. Among Jesus’ many extraordinary powers was his authority over the natural world.
Matthew 14:22 – 33 records the miraculous event of Jesus walking on the windy surface of a stormy lake to reach his disciples. In addition, with Jesus’ urging, Peter was miraculously empowered to also walk on the water. When Jesus and Peter climbed into the boat, the wind immediately became still, which caused the disciples aboard the boat to exclaim, “Truly you are the Son of God.” A similar passage in Mark 4:39 reports that with the simple phrase, “Quiet! Be still!” Jesus quieted the furious squall. The disciples were stunned and terrified (see Mark 4:41). What kind of person, they wondered, possesses such power that even the forces of nature obey him? They knew the answer: only God himself.
Although words can be compelling, actions provide powerful evidence to reinforce one’s words. In Jesus’ case, he made bold claims, and as his disciples could attest, his actions reinforced his authority as the Son of God.
