journeys end was hidden from their
view. Their trust mu.t be complete
and their faith unshakasle to carry
them through the trying days of the
crucifixion and after the ascension
When the time of testing came they
listened for His voice to speak to
them as He did that night in the
darkness of the lake and they knew
not fear.
What shall we say concerning the
miracle of Christ's walking on the
waves: of Peters partial success in
initiating his Lord, and of the calm
ing of the storm? What the physical
explanation is we cannot say. The
description has come to US from an
unscientiflc age in an urscientif1c
phrase. AS the noted DR.. Charles E..
jefferson has pointed out in one Oh
his addresses, we have no right to
say 1t Is contrary to our reason when
the evangelist relates this miracle
1T is contrary to our experience. But
IL Christianity is to be cut down to
value will be left. But the fact Is
that Christ transcends Our experience
at every point and what He said runs
as far beyond us as what He did.
The outstanding fact OF the mira
cles Of Jesus is the spiritual effect
this miracle there was a spiritual one
which is OF greater Importance than
any physical miracle could possibly
be. The disciples changed their at
titude then and there. They had seen
that Jesus can always be trusted.
and. being trusted. will always aid.
They had learned that He was al
ways near. and their trust in God
thror;h Christ. had been enlarged.
The Master had taught them all. but
especially Peter. to know Him better.
Nothing illustrates this better than
on the morrow. when after the Of
Tended multitudes had left. displeased
with the political program outlined
in his sermon. II am the bread OF
life" the disciples stood firm. When
He asked them. will We also go
away" they replied. Lord. to whom
shall we go: Thou hast the words
of eternal life" Such trust we need
in the world today. How much il
means to be sure that the Son Of God
sees us when We are tempest-tosseC
and that at the very hour when de-
feat seems certain or disaster inev!
liable He LANDS ready to come to
our aid with His almighty power
Like the disciples. we must come

sus and be transformed in character
