Commentary on Mark 11:22

Theological / Devotional

Have faith in God. As might be expected, the disciples’ reaction was essentially one of surprise at the miraculous nature of this acted parable. Apparently they did not as yet perceive its import. Thus, while their attention was focused on the miracle itself rather than upon its meaning, Jesus took advantage of their interest to point out the heights to which true faith may soar (vs. 22–24), and added an admonition with respect to an important prerequisite to answered prayer (Mark 11:25; see on Matt. 17:20).
