Matthew Mustard Seed Faith

Jesus seems to.

Matthew mustard seed faith.

He means a faith real and trustful though it be small and weak. As small as a mustard seed that s pretty small. 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. A prayer for your mustard seed faith to move mountains.

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. 17 20 because of your unbelief because in this particular they had not faith. 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. 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.

He replied because you have so little faith. The mustard seed is one of the tiniest seeds found in the middle east so the conclusion is that the amount of faith needed to do great things is very small indeed. 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.
