“You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith.” ~Jesus

Faith, Jesus, Jesus Sayings, Luke 17

Here is the real deal about faith.

• I think I need more faith. If I just had more faith, I could do X. Jesus challenges me to understand God’s goal for me.
• Jesus knows that it isn’t true that I need more faith. Faith is not a question of more or less.
• I either have faith or I don’t. If I believe God can do it and that he is in a good mood, I can act on my faith. God is God.

Jesus is right! It isn’t about ‘more’.

The apostles came up and said to the Master, “Give us more faith.”

But the Master said, “You don’t need more faith. There is no ‘more’ or ‘less’ in faith. If you have a bare kernel of faith, say the size of a poppy seed, you could say to this sycamore tree, ‘Go jump in the lake,’ and it would do it.

God is God, God's World, Kingdom, Luke 17

Jesus is King

We keep looking. We think, some day we will go to heaven. We hold out hope.

We don’t get it. God is in control. He is God. We don’t have to wait for that to happen. He is NOW. He is TODAY. God is GOD.

God’s world is already here. We must live it now. We must stop looking for a day when things will get better.

Grilled by the religious leaders on when the kingdom of God would come, answered, “The kingdom of God doesn’t come by counting the days on the calendar. Nor when someone says, ‘Look here!’ or, ‘There it is!’ And why? Because God’s kingdom is already among you.” ~~Jesus (Luke 17:20-21)

May I see God’s world today. May I know it is already here.
