Jesus still looks for People of Faith

In Mark’s gospel Jesus is quoted as saying, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23; NKJV). That verse still speaks to us today. Jesus, in His ministry on earth often said, as He prayed for people, that it was their faith that brought the result. Let’s look at some examples. A blind man called Bartimaeus cried out to Jesus for healing and Jesus' response was, “Go your way; your faith has made you well” (Mark 10:52; NKJV). A woman with a chronic bleeding disorder was convinced that if she just touched Jesus she would be healed; she did and she was! Jesus acknowledged her faith (Matt 9:20-22). Four men brought a paralyzed friend to Jesus and the only way they could get him to Jesus was by making a hole in the roof and lowering him down, “Jesus saw their faith” and healed the friend (Mark 2:1-12; NKJV). A Roman centurion whose servant was very ill was too humble to have Jesus enter his home but just said, “Lord, speak a word and my servant will be healed. “Jesus said, “I have not found such great faith not even in Israel.” Jesus spoke and the servant was healed (Matt 8:5-13; NKJV). Sadly, in His own hometown, Jesus was unable to perform great miracles, “because of their unbelief” (Matt 13:58; NKJV). He once commented that if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed, we could move mountains (Matt 17:20). “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”” (Heb 13:8; NKJV). He still looks for people of great faith!
