The Apostles asked Jesus to increase their
faith. They did not ask for knowledge, or
understanding, or answers to immediate
problems. They did not ask to know the
future; they wanted to believe in Jesus.
There was a tightrope walker, who did
incredible aerial feats. All over Paris,
he would do tightrope acts at tremendously
scary heights. Then he had succeeding
acts; he would do it blindfolded, then he
would go across the tightrope,
blindfolded, pushing a wheelbarrow. An
American promoter read about this in the
papers and wrote a letter to the tightrope
walker, saying, "Tightrope, I don't
believe you can do it, but I'm willing to
make you an offer. For a very substantial
sum of money, besides all your
transportation fees, I would like to
challenge you to do your act over Niagara
Falls." Now, Tightrope wrote back, "Sir,
although I've never been to America and
seen the Falls, I'd love to come." Well,
after a lot of promotion and setting the
whole thing up, many people came to see
the event. Tightrope was to start on the
Canadian side and come to the American
side. Drums roll, and he comes across the
rope which is suspended over the
treacherous part of the falls --
blindfolded!! And he makes it across
easily. The crowds go wild, and he comes
to the promoter and says, "Well, Mr.
Promoter, now do you believe I can do it?"
"Well of course I do. I mean, I just saw
you do it." "No," said Tightrope, "do you
really believe I can do it?" "Well of
course I do, you just did it." "No, no,
no," said Tightrope, "do you believe I can
do it?" "Yes," said Mr. Promoter, "I
believe you can do it." "Good," said
Tightrope, "then you get in the wheel
barrow."
Lord,
“increase our faith.”
