If you had faith like a mustard seed

My Sunday Scripture 2010.10.3.


The Text: Luke 17:5-10

The apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.'

The Lord replied, 'If you had faith like a mustard seed you could say to this mulberry tree, "Be uprooted and planted in the sea," and it would obey you.

'Which of you, with a servant ploughing or minding sheep, would say to him when he returned from the fields, "Come and have your meal at once"?

Would he not be more likely to say, "Get my supper ready; fasten your belt and wait on me while I eat and drink. You yourself can eat and drink afterwards"?

Must he be grateful to the servant for doing what he was told?

So with you: when you have done all you have been told to do, say, "We are useless servants: we have done no more than our duty." '

My Reading Notes:

If we had faith like a mustard seed, then we can do things. As for the reward, though that is also important for the self, but is secondary. The important thing is the aim. That is absolute important, that is what we lived for.
