Faith in an Impossible Command

Commentators note that Jesus commanded the man to do something physically impossible. The man's response to "Stretch forth thy hand" is seen as an act of obedience born of faith. By attempting the impossible at Jesus' command, he received a complete healing, illustrating that faith often involves acting on God's word even when it defies human logic.
