Sea

God gathers the waters and names them: “the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.” Psalm 95:5 says “The sea is his, and he made it.” Yet the sea is also where fear lives. In Matthew 8 a storm covers the boat while Jesus sleeps, and when he rebukes the winds and the sea, “there was a great calm.” Revelation then fills the sea with wonders and terrors, a sea of glass before the throne and a beast rising from the water, and ends by saying “there was no more sea.” Start with Matthew 8:23-27.
