Human faith is not the key. God is the key. Faith accomplishes things because that faith is in God! This is why a little faith, the size of a mustard seed, can accomplish great things, like move a mountain. So the key principle to understand today is this. A little faith in a big God enables me to meet great spiritual needs. We don’t have to have a great faith because we serve a great God. We don’t have to have a big faith because we serve a big God.

The man had a great spiritual need and He knew Jesus could take care of it so he took his son to Jesus’ disciples. This man expected that those who followed Jesus could and would help with this spiritual need. The father says in v16 that he came to the disciples with the expectation that they could help. The lesson we should learn in this is that the world around us often believes that Jesus can help and they expect that those who follow Jesus can secure Jesus’ help. When people come to us for help with spiritual needs they aren’t asking for our help as much as they are asking for Jesus’ help. They come to us because we know Jesus and they don’t.
