PARABLE 3 OF 22
The Mustard Seed
Mattityahu 13:31–32
PARABLE · TO THE CROWDS
The Kingdom is like the smallest of seeds, which becomes the largest of garden plants — birds nest in its branches.
Yeshua frames His Kingdom as starting indecently small — twelve fishermen, a carpenter, a borrowed tomb. What appears insignificant to the powers of the age becomes the shelter for every nation. Do not despise the seed because the field is small.
