Faith Among Mockers - Let Him Deliver Him, seeing He delighted in Him

What, then, ought a child of God to do in order to show that he really does trust in the Lord? How did Jesus do this? Well, I think that in our Lord's case it was his wonderful calmness which compelled everybody to see that "he trusted on the Lord." You never find him in a flurry; he is never worried nor confused. He is beset behind and before with men who try to catch him, but he is as self- possessed as if he spoke among friends. He does not appear to be the least upon his guard, and yet instead of their catching him, before long he either catches them, or else they retire saying, "Never man spake like this Man." He was always cool, peaceful, ready, self-composed.
