And Jesus said unto them,

'Because of your unbelief:

For verily

I say unto you,

If ye have faith

As a grain of mustard seed,

Ye shall say

Unto this mountain,

'Remove hence

To yonder place;'

And it shall remove;

And nothing

Shall be impossible

Unto you.' "Matthew 17:14-21

Really?

Nothing,

Impossible,

With just a mustard seed?

The twelve disciples

Thought this seemed

Way too impossible,

For them to acquiesce

Or believe.

Instead,

They focused on increasing,

And strengthening,

The thing they deemed

To be too weak,

And asked the Lord

To help them never have,

A mustard seed

Of unbelief.

"And the apostles

Said unto the Lord,

'Increase our faith.'

And the Lord said,

'If ye had faith

As a grain of mustard seed,

Ye might say unto

This sycamine tree,

'Be thou plucked up

By the root,

And be thou planted

In the sea;'

And it should obey you.' "Luke 17:5-6

On the surface,

Jesus seemed to tell them,

What He'd told them

Once before,

But if we listen in,

There is way more.
