<p>11:22 <em>And Jesus answering said to them: Have faith in God</em>- We are asked to be perfect as our Father in Heaven is perfect (Mt. 5:48); to have the faith of God (Mk. 11:22 AVmg.). By faith in the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, we can attain these heights; but not in our own strength. In our every spiritual struggle and victory against the flesh throughout the day, we are playing out the finest and highest heroism that any playwright could conceive:&nbsp; the absolute underdog, the outsider without a chance, winning, at the end, the ultimate victory against impossible odds. Dear Peter exemplified how we so often behave, when he gasped at how deep was Jesus&rsquo; faith, as he saw the fig tree withered in exact accord with the Lord&rsquo;s earlier words. But the Lord turns on Him immediately: &ldquo;<em>You</em> have faith in God&hellip; <em>you</em> must believe, and whatever <em>you</em> ask in faith will happen, if you like me, see it as if it has happened at the point of asking for it&rdquo;.</p>
