Topic: Moving Mountains By Faith

Matthew 21:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. (KJV) Jesus kept making these radical statements about faith, statements that even today seem unbelievable. Jesus kept making these statements because He knows the only way you can move the mountains in your life is by faith in Him. The question is, "Why hasn't someone been able to do this mountain moving thing in 2000 years?" Here are other important questions, "What good would it do to throw a mountain into the sea? What would it demonstrate what has not already been demonstrated by Jesus? What are the priorities? Is restoring the sight to a blind child less important than moving a mountain? Is saving a soul less important than moving a mountain?" Throwing a mountain into the sea is not nearly as important an event as leading someone to make a decision for Christ. After all, a mountain is just rock and dirt. Rock and dirt can be thrown into the ocean all day long and these activities are not going to make any real difference to anyone. Jesus came to earth to make a difference in your life (dramatically more important than rocks and dirt thrown into the ocean). Jesus died on the cross to make a difference in how you see God (dramatically more important than rocks and dirt thrown into the ocean). Jesus suffered and died so maybe, if the right words are used, you will accept He died for you (dramatically more important than rocks and dirt thrown into the ocean). Jesus came to earth so you will use your faith and accept as fact He was the real Son of God (dramatically more important than rocks and dirt thrown into the ocean).
