"Do you want to supersize that?" This is the inevitable question we all face at the fast-food places. The Gospel writer, Mark, uses the same technique for a different purpose. He shares with us a story of Jesus from early in His ministry. He is in a boat with His disciples when a storm hits. Not just any storm. It was a supersized storm. Jesus calms the storm. It was supersized calm. The disciples respond in fear, "Who is this?" It was supersized fear. A storm, a calm, and a fearful response all described by Mark as being "mega" events. What does Mark want his readers to know about Jesus? How do we see the fingerprints of His grace in life? Even within the natural elements of the world we can see God's grace at work.
