SCRIPTURE

"They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat: and straightway the boat was at the land whither they were going." — John 6:21 (ASV)

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

No sooner was Jesus with them than they were where they wanted to be. The presence of Christ works wonders for us; we are soon at our haven when the Lord of heaven comes to us.

Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

The sea and the winds knew how not only to spare the vessel, but to carry it instantaneously to the place where they wished to be.

But how often have you and I been rowing about, five-and-twenty or thirty furlongs, and we did not seem to be getting out of the storm at all; but the moment Christ has come, we have been where we wished to be. Oh, glory be to his name; there is no difficulty that you can be in, dear friends, but Christ can get you out of it in a moment, and bring you where you should be.
