Kingdom Starts Small But Grows
- The kingdom of heaven starts as something tiny and insignificant, like the smallest mustard seed.
- Despite its small beginning, it grows to become something large, unstoppable, and counterintuitive to the world.
Mustard Seed Parable and Ezekiel
- Jesus' mustard seed parable echoes Ezekiel 17, where God's people are a tree providing shelter for birds (nations).
- This connects to a vision of God's kingdom growing to bless all nations despite humble beginnings.
Take Time to Study Parables
- When studying parables, expect to wrestle with context and meanings for a long time; it is a gradual discovery process.
- Engage in discussion groups to deepen understanding and uncover connections.
