Serving the Word: Mt 17: 14-20

SATURDAY 8 AUGUST

Matthew 17, 14-20:
“I tell you the truth, if your faith were like a mustard seed, you would tell that mountain to come here, and it would come. Nothing would be impossible for you”.

A man, in a state of distress, approaches Jesus asking him to heal his son.
Jesus’ deep feelings are moved and he orders him to be brought to him. And the child is healed.
But Jesus takes the opportunity to correct his disciples for their lack of faith. They could not heal the boy because their faith was not even the size of a mustard seed. When faith in Jesus is true and strong, it can do all that seems impossible to us. It breaks down all barriers and overcomes all obstacles.
Ask the Lord to increase your faith and your love for Him. May he also increase your hope in his grace and strength and may he never leave you in defeat or in failure.
Good day.
