The Miracle on the Lake
Luke 8:22-25
Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said to them…


1. This miracle proved Jesus to be both God and man, and therefore able to save us from our sins.

2. This miracle proves that the Redeemer never forgets His people, though He sometimes appears to do so.

3. This miracle proves that the Redeemer will certainly deliver His people at last. What should hinder Him? — not want of power, for He is " the mighty God," as this history abundantly shows; not want o! knowledge, for He is infinitely wise to know how to save; not want of will, for He loves them and delights to help them.

4. This miracle proves that Jesus is a Being whom it is impiety and ruin to resist, but duty and happiness to obey.

(James Foote, M. A.)
