When we are kids, we put our hands over someone's eyes from behind and say, "Guess who!" The Gospel of Mark is kind of like that, Mark tells a story of Jesus healing and says, "Guess who Jesus is, the healer." He tells a story about Jesus forgiving sins and says, "Guess who Jesus is, the forgiver." Jesus wants us to know him and recoginize who he is! ​In the story of Jesus calming the storm, the wind and the waves recognize Jesus's voice. He says to the wind and waves, “Guess who!” and they say, “That’s our maker! When the disciples are afraid of the storm they don't recognize Jesus. They say, "Teacher, don't you care if we drown?" They don't recognize that Jesus is the one who created them and cares for them. Often in our lives, we do not recognize who Jesus is, but he is always there, saying, "Guess who," so that we can know that he creates us and cares for us.
