Luke 17:5-6<\/h2>\n
5\u00a0<\/sup>The apostles said to the Lord,\u00a0\u201cIncrease our faith!\u201d<\/span>\u00a06\u00a0<\/sup>And the Lord said,\u00a0\u201cIf you had faith like\u00a0a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this\u00a0mulberry tree, \u2018Be uprooted and planted in the sea,\u2019 and it would obey you.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 19\u00a0<\/sup>Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, \u201cWhy could we not cast it out?\u201d<\/span>\u00a020\u00a0<\/sup>He said to them,\u00a0\u201cBecause of your little faith. For\u00a0truly, I say to you,\u00a0if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed,\u00a0you will say to this mountain, \u2018Move from here to there,\u2019 and it will move, and\u00a0nothing will be impossible for you. (Matthew 17:19-20)<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The passage has more than enough uniqueness to be separate event. However, the scenarios depict the same core issue. The apostles lacked faith. Moreover, they were expecting Jesus to increase their faith for them; like some kind of genie. But that is not the way it works. Faith is not a substance or commodity to be taken and given. It’s internal to all of us. It is up to us to place the faith, that lies within us, in the Lord. Not the other way around.<\/p>\n [Featured image from https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/quinnanya\/4578445081<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Increase Our Faith Luke 17:5-6 5\u00a0The apostles said to the Lord,\u00a0\u201cIncrease our faith!\u201d\u00a06\u00a0And the Lord said,\u00a0\u201cIf you had faith like\u00a0a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this\u00a0mulberry tree, \u2018Be uprooted and planted in the sea,\u2019 and it would obey you.

There is an alternate version of this verse that appears in Matthew. However, it’s entirely possible that they are two different events.<\/p>\n
