A faith to live by

DOUGLAS L. MAYER

"How is it that ye have no faith?"^{ Mark 4:40;} Jesus asked his disciples when they were afraid for their lives aboard a boat on a storm-tossed sea. This penetrating question is just as important now. Which is more real to us, matter or Spirit?

Christ Jesus was able to calm the sea and the violent winds because he had a deep spiritual understanding of God and man's relationship to Him. To the Master this was not a miracle but a natural manifestation of God's care for His children.

Time and again Jesus proved by his healings that God is perfect—totally good, wholly loving, omnipresent. Man, as God's image, can express only God's qualities, including goodness, completeness, and intelligence. Good can produce only good.
