Jesus Teaches The Disciples to Believe

Mark 11:20-25

Peter was very surprised when he saw this tree. On the day before, the tree was leafy and healthy (Mark 11:12-14). But Jesus said that it would die. And when Peter recognised the tree, it was completely dead. Peter did not think that Jesus‘ words would be so powerful.

Jesus‘ words were powerful because Jesus had God‘s authority to speak those words. And God is very powerful. Jesus told the disciples that they should always believe God. Even a mountain must obey God‘s words. If a person believes God, God will do powerful things to help that person.

But a person who prays must do two things:

1. They must continue to believe God.
2. They must forgive other people, because God has forgiven them.
