Faith Sets the Standard
Commentators emphasize that Jesus' words, "as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee," reveal a key principle. The scope and confidence of our faith often set the measure for the blessings we receive. As John Calvin notes, when we find the "vessel of faith open," Christ graciously pours out His grace. Our belief doesn't earn the miracle, but it aligns us with the work God is willing to do.
