Jesus' disciples came to Him one day and asked Him how to increase their faith. Jesus made the following response.
Why do you think Jesus responded the way He did?
Luk 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” Luk 17:6 And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you. Luk 17:7 “Will any one of you who has a servant plowing or keeping sheep say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and recline at table’? Luk 17:8 Will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare supper for me, and dress properly, and serve me while I eat and drink, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Luk 17:9 Does he thank the servant because he did what was commanded? Luk 17:10 So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’” |
