Stories of the Kingdom: The Parables of JesusНамуна

Parable of the Mustard Seed
In Matthew 13:31-32, Mark 4:30-32, and Luke 13:18-19, Jesus tells the parable of the mustard seed. He describes the kingdom of heaven as being like a mustard seed, one of the smallest seeds, but when planted, it grows into a large tree, providing shelter for birds.
How does the imagery of a mustard seed growing into a large tree reflect the growth and impact of God's kingdom?
About this Plan

Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
