A Small Faith

Often times faith seems like a huge undertaking… we have to believe in the God of the universe who is bigger than anything we can ever imagine. Surely our faith in something so expansive and extravagant must also be expansive and extravagant. It can only be expected that we must have large beliefs, grand feelings, and never doubt. Surely a big God must require a big faith.
 
Jesus’ life on earth proved to us that just the opposite was true. Do you know how small a mustard seed actually is? When Jesus compares our faith to one of the smallest things on earth, he speaks volumes about our relationship with the creator of the universe. The people the Jesus ministered to were not larger-than-life personalities. He did not storm throne rooms or even the temple to gain the favor of political and religious leaders of his time. The majority of his short time in ministry was spent with the small and lowly, those who were seemingly insignificant in the eyes of everyone else. Their faith may have started out small, but after encountering Jesus, everything was changed.
