Matt 13:31-32 (KJV) Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.
The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed
When you look at a seed it is tiny. It doesn’t appear to have any life in it. It colour is bland. There is no movement or growth when looking at the seed.
If the seed is sown into the ground and provided the right nutrition of water and good soil and allowed to grow then it will grow into a large tree. Note the following:
· The seed has to be sown
· It has to have water
· It has to be planted in good soil
· It has to be allowed to grow
· It has a time and season for growth
· When it is fully grown it provides for the birds and not just for itself.
