Matthew Mustard Seed Faith

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed that is the least measure of it.

Matthew mustard seed faith.

Wesley s notes for matthew 17 20. Jesus compared the mustard seed to the kingdom saying the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and planted in his field matthew 13 31 and if you have faith as small as a mustard seed you can say to this mulberry tree be uprooted and planted in the sea and it will obey you luke 17 6. 17 20 because of your unbelief because in this particular they had not faith. As small as a mustard seed that s pretty small.

He means a faith real and trustful though it be small and weak. Matthew 17 20 if our faith even if it s the size of a mustard seed is placed in the all powerful god great things can happen. If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed which as he says matthew 13 32 is less than all seeds he means a faith real and trustful though it be small and weak. Nothing will be impossible for you matthew 17 20 21.

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. Jesus seems to. Just as in the parable of the mustard seed matthew 13 31 32 jesus uses rhetorical hyperbole to make the point that little is much when it comes from god.
