Faith Like A Mustard Seed 芥菜种的信心
Matthew 17:20 He replied," Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as the mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
马太福音 17:20 耶稣说:是因你们的信心小,我实在告诉你们,你们若有信心像一粒‘芥菜种’,就是对这座山说:你从这边挪到那边,他也必挪去,并且你们没有一件不能作的事了。
Dear friend, have you ever seen a mustard seed before? In fact it is consider as small among many seeds, yet when it grows, it is bigger than many trees. So when Jesus describes our faith as a mustard seed, it means that though our faith seem to be small yet it is so powerful and it can becomes a big tree when we sow it on the good soil! Today where is the source of our faith? Is from the Words of God. Because faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ. (Romans 10:17)Therefore, let our heart be a good soil, believe and receive the promises of God, able to sow the words of God in our life so that the mustard seed of faith in our life can grow well. No matter how strong the storms might be, let Jesus take the control. Though sometimes we might not know how to move on, but we are to take heart and just follow the good shepherd-Jesus, for He will surely leads us to the green pasture and the stream of living water. Regardless how big the mountain could be in front of us, believe Jesus by faith and command the mountain to move away! Always remember that in Jesus, nothing is too hard! Do not fear, just believe! Amen!
亲爱的朋友,你可曾见过芥菜种?其实他是在那么多的种子中算为小的种子,但是他所栽种出来的树却是比其他的树都来得更大。所以可想而知,当耶稣将信心形容成芥菜种时,就是预表着我们的信心虽然看似渺小,但是当我们开始将这渺小信心的种子撒在好土上时,他必然长成大树!今天我们的信心源头能取自哪里呢?就是神的话。因为信道是从听道来,听道是从基督的话来的。(罗马书10:17)所以,让我们的心是那块好土,相信并领受神的一切应许,得以栽种神的话在我们的生命中,让我们生命里那芥菜种的信心得以茁壮成长。不管生命中有什么样的波浪,就让耶稣这掌舵的来掌权。纵然有时我们看不见前面的路要怎么走,我们只管跟随我们的好牧者-耶稣,因为祂必引领我们到宽阔的草地上和可安歇的水边。无论前面的大山有多大,凭着相信耶稣,命令生命中的大山挪开吧!永远记得,在耶稣那里没有难成的事!不要怕,只要信!阿们!
