In this section of scripture Jesus again speaks to His disciples about their level of faith. “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.’” (Matthew 17:20 ESV) If the disciples who were right there with Jesus every day had to be reminded to strengthen their faith, how much more do we need reminding! But as He promised, if we can maintain an active faith in Him, the rewards will be great.
