Parables of Jesus - The Mustard Seed - Mark 4:30-33

January 27, 2013

Langdon Palmer

When Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed - what does he mean ? We look at three kinds of people - the person who plants, the person who watches, and the person who is too busy to notice - as a way of thinking about our own lives. But what is the primary mustard seed that Jesus is talking about ? . It turns out that something as small and apparently inconsequential as one wandering Rabbi 2000 years ago was the beginning of something that would grow so large that at the end of days every knee will bend and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
