“For After They Had Faith”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

The Savior taught that a person with faith the size of a mustard seed can have power to move a mountain (See Matthew 17:20). From this Book of Mormon verse we can see that this statement was not just a symbolic teaching device on the Savior’s part to illustrate the power of faith. Jesus may actually have been referring to this literal event.
