There is a powerful message in Mark 9:23. A message of belief, faith, and hope.
Mark 9:23
23“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.”
The story is talking about healing this boy that was possessed since youth. This is a for me, reminder of faith in it’s purest form and belief and how far it can carry us when we believe what is right.
The story is talking about healing this boy that was possessed since youth. This is a for me, reminder of faith in it’s purest form and belief and how far it can carry us when we believe. God knows what is right. So we need to go to Him. Trust God, believe in Him.
Jesus' words have been heard and translated in so many different ways. He may have been making an ironic rebuke to a father and a crowd who have placed their faith (and doubt) in the disciples instead of God. Or He may be saying, "As far as your words, 'if you can'…" to highlight what He is responding to.
The sentiment He quotes reflects the climate of the entire crowd. The father has a hard time believing Jesus can save his boy when His disciples can't.
Jesus isn't saying that we can accomplish anything we want if we have enough faith; this isn't an endorsement of the Word of Faith teachings. True faith doesn't presume that God will do what we want but that God can do what He wants.
