Subject: What did Jesus mean by this |
Bible Note: I can't accept your premise Ken. The only proper object of TRUE faith is God. Let's not confuse spiritual faith in God with carnal faith in idols or self-confidence in one's own ability. Afterall, we are speaking of believers (excepting Judas) in this instance. But Jesus makes no dstinction in this instance for which a good Bible study would be in order. Having understood the matter in context with the rest of what He had to say concerning His kingdom, His faith is what He was referring when speaking with them in the matter of the mustard seed. |
