This Sunday’s gospel illustrates how our faith towards God should be. Jesus was asked by his disciples to increase their faith. And so he replied that their faith be like a mustard seed, something that would thrive and increase through nurturing and time. He then taught his disciples that the appreciation a servant has for his master should be boundless. A servant should always be faithful to his master and not expect a reward for what the servant is doing is his job. The reward comes naturally after he does his job.
Nurturing our faith is what’s important. The gospel emphasizes that we should have a faith that is vast. Just as how Jesus compared our faith to a mustard seed, we should let our faith thrive and get the best of us. We are all God’s servant and therefore we should have a strong faith in Him. Furthermore, as the gospel states, us being God’s servant, we should not expect reward from Him every time we do something good. We should remember that our reward will come when the time comes.
Faith is what makes or breaks a true Christian. Having a strong one will define our relationship with God. We should remember that faith is what connects us to our master, God, who has limitless love for us. We could reciprocate that love through our faith. And as his servants, we should not fail to please Him.
