“… when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Lk 18:8
Jesus had an interesting way of verbalizing his observations of people. Rather than comment on people’s intelligence, their good looks or their personality; He would, on occasion, comment on their faith. To one person(s), He would say “Oh you of little faith!” and to another “What great faith!”.
The Bible says that it is by faith that we, sinners, are declared righteous . Without faith it is impossible to please God. With faith nothing is impossible. By faith we can do spectacular things such as uprooting trees or picking up mountains and tossing them into the sea. In the book of James, the prayer of faith can heal the sick. Faith is the shield by which we extinguish the flaming darts of Satan. I want to understand these things and experience the reality of them.
So in the quest for great faith, I set out on a study of each time Jesus commented on another person’s faith. I would like to pass on my observations in a series of brief and to-the-point “great faith thoughts” (GFT’s).
Please feel free to chime in with your own thoughts. If I’m in error, please feel free to correct me. Regardless, I’m hoping some thought that is shared will engage your thinking on the subject of faith.
Stay tuned!
