Matthew 14:32

32. Were come into the ship John says they willingly received him into the ship; for previously, supposing him to be a spirit, they dreaded his approach. But lo! it was their Lord, and gladly did they welcome him. The wind ceased The storm then was permitted that is, it was not prevented by Jesus. The elements were left by him to blow with all their natural power until he entered the boat. Such is an image of the trials which nature in this scene of probation forces upon us, and which God does not prevent until their work in our trial is done. The instant cessation of the wind was an additional miracle, and probably impressed the disciples scarce less than the walking upon the sea.
