220 WALKING ON THE SEA dreaded was no other than their Lord Himself, whom, above all others, they longed to see. We are reminded here of our Lord's appearance to Mary Magdalene, when with a heavy heart and trembling steps she visited His grave. She knew Him not at first ; she supposed Him to be the gardener ; and had grave suspicions that it was he that had taken the body away. But when He called her by name, " Mary," she discovered at once that it was her risen Lord. We are reminded also of the two disciples who journeyed to Emmaus, conversing about the sorrowful events of the preceding days, which had completely blighted their fondest hopes. Our Lord joined them on their way, entered into their conversation, and explained the predictions of Scripture concerning Himself. But they knew llim not; they thought He was a stranger, and invited llim as such to partake of their evening meal. At last when He broke the bread in His accustomed manner, their eyes were opened, and they recognised in Him their crucified Lord. We should never be rash in judging appearances. Let us be patient. What we suppose to be a malignant spirit may be the Saviour Himself. Let us only wait, and present!}' He will reveal Himself in all the fulness of His love. " It is I ; be not afraid." It was enough. To know that it was the Master, at once dispelled their fears. So when we are assured that Christ is in the dark cloud— the bitter sorrow—the heavy loss—let us welcome it as our chief joy. 3. WJicn Clirist appears, He brings effectual aid. No sooner had He set foot on the ship than He looked the storm in the face, and with an authority
WALKING ON THE SEA 221 which the angry billows dared not question, said, "Peace, be still!" Immediately there was a great calm ; not only a calm, but a great calm. The clear, placid waters of the resting sea reflected the sparkling stars of the deep blue firmament above, as if no wayward blast had ever disturbed their silent repose. What a grand change !—from tumult to stillness, from danger to safety, from utter despair to gladness and joy ! Surely no other friend could have done so much for the disciples as their Lord did on this occasion. Ah ! my friends, the lesson which this incident is designed to teach is always true ; as true now as it was nineteen centuries ago : that no earthly friend can help us as effectually as our Lord can. Others may express sympathy with us in our trials, may weep with us in our sorrows,—and we bless God for the kindness which abounds on every hand, and the help we receive from loving Christian friends,—but after all how inadequate the most potent human aid in the trying circumstances we have sometimes to pass through ! There are depths of grief into which our dearest friends cannot follow us ; there are' extremes of anguish which those who are nearest to us cannot understand ; there are times when we feel ourselves tossed about on the troubled ocean of life alone, with no one near that can give us a helping hand, left to perish amidst the howling tempests that beat upon our shattered bark. But Christ can follow us there He can lift up His voice higher than the roaring waves ; He can bring rest, and peace, and joy to our storm-tossed souls. What a comforting thought ! " He will never leave us nor forsake us ; " when we " pass through the waters " He is with us ; when we
