| And Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God." - Mark 11:22 |
This simple response given by Jesus in response to Peter's amazement of the fig tree's demise is interpreted by Barnes' Notes on the New Testament as, "Literally, have strong faith or have confidence in God; a strong belief that he is able to accomplish things that appear most difficult with infinite ease, as the fig-tree was made to wither away by a word."
Absolute confidence in God - we make it complicated, but it's simple. God will do what He says, and He longs for us to trust Him with child like faith, believing that what we ask in His name He will accomplish. "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." John 14:13.
