Christ’s command over the forces of nature is an important part of his redemption mission. Recall that in Genesis 3, it was not only Adam and Eve who were punished—a curse fell on all of creation because of their sin. Adam and Eve had been created as the king and queen of creation, mediators between the visible world and the invisible God. Once their relationship with God was broken, all creation fell into disorder.
Christ then came not only to redeem us, but to save all creation.
