What did Jesus try to explain while using a mustard seed as an example?
The kingdom of God and/or faith.
Correct!
Very good, Ralph! The answer could actually be either the Kingdom of God or Faith. Jesus taught both by using a mustard seed as an example. So, what did we learn from this?
In regards to faith, it doesn't take much - just a tiny mustard seed to move a mountain. A mountain is oftentimes a symbol of authority or something that is IMPOSSIBLE. The authority in the earth that opposes the things of God is Satan and we can overcome him with Faith. So, faith is VERY important - just a little stick of DYNAMITE!!! It can move a mountain! LOL!
In regards to the Kingdom of Heaven, Jesus is the tiny mustard seed that must die so that a tree can become a blessing in the earth. The believers of Christ are that tree in the earth offering shade and refuge to others - equipped to meet the needs of others.
