·COME AND WELCOME.

JOHN VI. 37.

All that the Father giveth me, shall come to me; and him that cometh to me, I will in no wise cast out.

A LITTLE before, in this chapter, you may read that the Lord Jesus walked on the sea, to go to Capernaum, having sent his disciples before in a ship, but the wind was contrary; by which means the ship was hindered in her passage. Now, about the fourth watch of the night, Jesus came walking on the sea, and overtook them; at the sight of whom, they were afraid.

Note. When providences are black and terrible to God's people, the Lord Jesus shows himself to them in a wonderful manner; the which, sometimes, they can as little bear, as they can the things that were before terrible to them. They were afraid of the wind and water; they were also afraid of their Lord and Saviour, when he appeared to them in that state.

But he said, "Be not afraid, it is I."

Note. That the end of the appearing of the Lord Jesus unto his people (though the manner of his appearance be ever so terrible) is to allay their fears and perplexities.
