Sunday Quotes!

Yesterday we examined and reaffirmed our belief that our great Savior is "fully man" and "fully God." This truth is beautifully laid out for us in Mark 4:35-41. This is where we find Jesus, fully man, resting sound asleep in a boat during a raging storm. Next we see him, fully God, commanding the storm to stop... and the wind and waves obey the voice of the Creator. These quotes were helpful:
"We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and was made man." -Nicene Creed

"As Man he had slept. As God He stilled the storm." -JC Ryle

"Who is this man? He is the Lord of the storm. He is Lord of death and the grave. He is Lord of the seas, indeed of all creation. And since he love us and has purchased us with his own blood, he will never leave us nor forsake us, even when things look bleak and no hope is to be found. The wind and the waves obey this man because he is Lord. He is our Lord. For he is our God and we are his people." -Kim Riddlebarger
