If You Had Faith Like a Grain of Mustard Seed

Our text for LWML (Lutheran Women's Missionary League) Sunday is Luke 17:1-10. Jesus gave His Apostles a hard task: they must forgive—even if it means forgiving the same person seven times in one day. Upon hearing this, they asked Jesus to increase their faith. Jesus told them, "If you had faith like a grain of mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you." What is Jesus saying? In our attempt to accomplish the impossible, we place impossible burdens on our shoulders. So, when it comes to impossible tasks, we'll just have to trust the only One who can do them.
