Toiling in Rowing
Mark 6:45-51
And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida…


I. ANALOGIES IN THE CHRISTIAN'S VOYAGE THROUGH LIFE.

1. How many earnest truth seekers have been thus tossed by doubts and perplexities, with scarce one ray of light to guide them,

2. How many in the hour of spiritual awakening have passed through similar experience.

3. How many realize this amid the difficulties and temptations of life.

4. And others learn it in the hour of sorrow and suffering.

II. CONSOLATIONS.

1. Christ knows all.

2. Christ loves ceaselessly.

3. Christ prays constantly.

4. Christ comas with deliverance at the right time.

(M. Hutchison.)
