Luke 7:1-10 : This reading explores the nature of faith, forgiveness, and human value. Drawing from Luke 17, it highlights the disciples’ request for increased faith in response to Jesus’ call to forgive repeatedly. Faith, even as small as a mustard seed, is shown to hold transformative power. The faith contrasts worldly logic of seeking measurable value. It is the spiritual truth that reveals the deep meaning of our existence. Through Jesus’ incredible insight, today’s reading emphasizes that our existence finds meaning not in science or possessions, but in faith. True discipleship is not about ability, but identity shaped by trust in God’s extraordinary gift.
