"And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith." Luke 17: 5
If we consider these words in reference to the Being to whom they were addressed, 'the Lord,' they teach us that he is the source of grace, and the object of worship. If in reference to the persons who addressed him, 'the apostles,' they teach us that even the Lord's disciples themselves have their imperfections; but feel them, and are concerned to be freed from them. If in reference to the subject they express, 'our faith,' they teach us that faith is not finished at once; it admits of degrees, and higher measures of it are attainable. If in reference to the occasion which excited them, our Savior's preceding charge, they teach us that an increase of faith is not only always desirable, but sometimes necessary.
