Genesis 47 & 48, Matthew 17, Psalm 18: 1-6
Matthew 17: 20 (ESV)
“He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly,
I say to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to
this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move, and nothing will be
impossible for you.”
Verse 20 from Matthew 17 is Jesus’ response to his disciples
when they asked why they couldn’t cast the demon out from the boy. I believe
that Jesus is saying that it is not the amount of faith or how much faith that
we have to do great things. Jesus is saying that it is the kind of faith we
have that is important. Jesus tells his disciples that if they had the faith of
a mustard seed, we could do great things. A mustard seed is very small and in
time of Jesus, the mustard plant was used to make medicines or to use in cooking.
Mustard seeds also grow quickly and spread, and the mustard plant can grow very
large. So all we need is a little faith and that faith with God’s help, will grow quickly and spread and become large
and beneficial to God’s plan for earth.
