You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for Catholic kids that strives to plant seeds of faith.

Hey there, Sprouts. Today is Thursday, January 14th, 2021. This week on the Catholic Sprouts podcast, we are examining this question that is central to the lives of all Christians,

who is Jesus? And what is the proof for the fact

that He is God and the Messiah?

So we've already talked about the proof for him being God and Messiah by the fact that he

heals, that he works on the Sabbath as only God can.

We also see that he proves He is God because he is able to forgive sins.

And today we are going to see another example, another proof that He is God,

because he has the power to command nature.

Now, all throughout the book of Psalms, which is basically the Jewish

prayer book, a book of sung prayers, many of which were written by King David. All throughout that,

they sing the praise of God, and they recognize God alone as the creator of nature but also the thing

that can command and direct nature controlling the wind and the sea. There are also some great

examples from the Old Testament when amazing things happened to the natural world.

For example, after God used Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt, they came

to the Red Sea.

And of course, Pharaoh's heart had been hardened again, and he was coming out into the desert

to reclaim his slaves.

So the Israelites were trapped between Pharaoh's army and the Red Sea.

But God commanded Moses, of course, to go and stretch his staff out over the sea.

And the water became like a wall on each side.

And the Israelites were able to pass through the sea on the dry land, the bottom of the sea. Amazing.
