Little Faith
Faith the size of a Mustard Seed
The disciples often struggled with doubt, exhibiting a little faith in challenging situations, such as in the case of casting out a demon from a man. Jesus reassured them that a faith as small as a mustard seed could move mountains and accomplish great things. This highlights that it is not the size of one’s faith that matters, but rather its existence and position in the right direction. With just a little faith, the disciples witnessed miraculous acts and transformations, proving that genuine trust in God can unlock His mighty power and lead to extraordinary results in our lives. Through their journey, they learned that even the smallest measure of faith, when placed in the hands of an all-powerful God, has the potential to change everything.
(ai summarized)
“When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” 18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.””
