Faith towards the soul who falls into the fire and water.
A man approaches Jesus and asks Him to have mercy on his son. Because of his seizures, this boy often falls into the fire and into water. But the disciples were not able to heal him so they asked Jesus for help.
Why couldn’t the disciples heal this boy? Jesus tells them they don’t have faith even as small as a mustard seed.
Do you think the disciples really didn’t have faith? Jesus’ definition of faith is regarding the heart towards the boy who falls into the fire and water.
Saving and healing people is entirely the work of God. Therefore, what we need is the faith of seeing the soul who falls into the fire and water with love and compassion. That is the faith we need when we look at the souls of this generation.
Passage to read: Matthew 17:14-27
14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.
16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”
17 “You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
18 Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
20 He replied, “Because you have so little faith. 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. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
