But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.”
(The words, “It is I.” translate the Greek words ἐγώ εἰμι, which literally read,
“I am.” Jesus said, “I am. Do not be afraid.”)
DON’T BE AFRAID. I AM!
Fears eclipsed as darkness fell upon the sea.
Winds whipped and tossed the ship upon the rollers.
The screaming gale brought the chattering of teeth,
With clinging dread and water rising to their molars.
They had good cause to be swallowed up in fear,
With the loss of life looming ever nearer.
Then on roiling seas they spied an apparition.
It strolled across the waves in human form,
Looming anonymously in imposition,
Stalking ominously through the violent storm.
“A ghost!”
Their screams were louder than the howling winds.
The boast of dread beyond the storm did now portend.
Every eye fixed upon it. Every heart raced.
Their cries ceased with the abandon of the damned.
Such a specter even seasoned sailors could not face.
Then He spoke with reason, “Do not be afraid; I AM!”
He then caused the wind to cease, and their dreadful tears.
They now paused to tremble in a different kind of fear.
“What sort of man is this,
To whom the wind and seas submit?”
