Hello Mountain

I really enjoyed talking about the different possible contextes for the "mountain be moved" passage. I had never heard the story about Herod having the one mountain poured on to another so that his would be higher. I thought that was so rediculous and yet, it makes perfect sense. That was the power a king had. I do not think that that is what Jesus was making refrence to, though. I always have an image in my mind of Jesus walking up to a mountain, completely unintimidated, and asking it to move. Then, the Mountain gets up on "legs" of some sort and runs to the Ocean and jumps in. That seems so silly. It only seems so crazy because that is too much power/authority for me to wrap my mind around. I am too weak to imagine that God has intrusted that kind of power to me. The first mountain I would need to say hello to would be my Everest of unbelief.
