Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
—II Corinthians 9:15
Jesus represented Christ, the true idea of God. . . . The Virgin-mother conceived this idea of God, and gave to her ideal the name of Jesus — that is, Joshua, or Saviour.
—Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, pp. 316:, 29

Isaiah 54:11, 13; 42:5 (to 1st ;), 6; Matthew 14:14; 8:23–27
Isa. 54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
Isa. Isa. 42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out;
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Matt. 14:14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
8:23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
