Nature and Grace
Matthew 14:22-27
And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him to the other side…


The story of this miracle has instruction for us in connection with the material world in which we live. Nature is not, in all respects, to be separated off too sharply from grace; and this miracle reminds us that it is the Lord of this universe who is the Head of the Church and the Saviour of our souls.

(Dean Howson.)
