Matthew 8:23-27 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.… I. MAN IN HIS HELPLESS CONDITION AS A PERISHING CREATURE. II. SALVATION ALONE IS OF THE LORD. 1. It is of the Lord in its origin. 2. In its execution. 3. In its bestowment. III. PERSONAL APPLICATION TO CHRIST IS NECESSARY. 1. This implies knowledge of Christ. 2. Faith in His Holy Name. 3. Importunity of desire. IV. Such application to Christ shall never fail. 1. Because it is His own appointment. 2. It is His delight to save His people. 3. He never allows His believing people to perish. (T. R. Baker.) Parallel Verses KJV: And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. |
