"Jesus was matter-of-fact: 'Embrace this God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, 'Go jump in the lake - no shuffling or shilly-shallying - and it's as good as done.'" (From the Message)
In verse 22 Jesus tells the disciples they can tell a mountain to move. They statement raises questions as to just exactly what does Jesus mean. That is why I appreciate how "The Message" translates this verse. It puts Jesus statement in the context of living in relationship with God. Jesus is not giving us a blank check of power, Jesus is saying when our lives are engaged with God, great things are possible.
