Mark 4:39. And said unto the sea, Peace, be still.
Can you not almost fancy that you can hear that commanding voice addressing the raging, roaring, tumultuous winds and waves?
Mark 4:39. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Not only was the wind quieted, and the sea hushed to slumber, but a deep, dead, mysterious calm transformed the lake into a molten looking glass. When Christ stills winds and waves, it is "a great calm." Did you ever feel "a great calm"? It is much more than ordinary peace of mind; it is to your heart as if there were no further possibilities of fear. Your troubles have so completely gone that you can scarcely recollect them. There is no one but the Lord himself who can speak so to produce "a great calm." Master, we entreat thee to speak such a calm so that for those of us who need it.
