The Mulberry Tree
The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you”.
God says: When you read about the apostles who followed Christ you hear and see their question . . . and perhaps you have the same petition for me. Can you not imagine a mulberry tree responding to your voice? Is it difficult for you to imagine this tree planted in the moving water? Are you thinking in the concrete terms of the world you see around you? Are you able to open your mind to a world that you cannot imagine, your heart to a love you have yet to feel?
We are reminded in scripture constantly that with God all is possible. We re-read this Parable of the Mustard Seed and wonder if Jesus’ words in the telling of this story are hyperbolic. What might happen if we read these words and decided that Jesus’ words are true?
Enter the word faith in to the blog search bar and consider our belief in the power of faith as small – and yet as powerful – as the Mustard Seed.
