Subject: What did Jesus mean by this |
Bible Note: A little too fuzzy, John, to place much confidence or hope in. If they could have had that kind of faith on their own they wouldn't need Jesus. They would be their own Gods. But as we study we see that everything is bound up in the will and purpose of God to which Jesus prayed earnestly about in John 17. "That they be one as we are one". Obviously He's praying they have the mind of God [without presumption mixed in, of course] as He had. It wouldn't take much of God's mind to move the mountain. A mustard seed's worth I'd say. |
