In Mark 4:26, Peter adds a little detail in the story of the calming of the storm. "And there were also with him other little ships." I love that! When Jesus stilled the wind and the waves that night, all the other vessels shared in the blessing.
When we become Christians, not only we are blessed but all of society is blessed as well. Multitudes who have never opened a Bible can now watch how we live.
No translation is quite as effective as when God translates his word into living epistles, known and read by all. All will know that we are his disciples not if we look pious on Sunday morning but if we love one another as well as the souls of all men.
