Another lesson to be learned from the Mustard seed could be that once it's planted and takes root, it's very hard to get rid of. That would suggest the same and true of the Kingdom of God. 
A few other points on the Mustard Seed - it has a pungent and fiery taste which is very beneficial for health. Once it's been planted it's scarcely impossible to rid the area of it's seeds. When the seeds fall, they germinate at once!
Sounds like the Kingdom of God to me! |
Pressing On,
I'm not arguing, just presenting the viewpoint of some teachers. I realize there are differences of opinion among Christians on that and on other things.
Some look at the "Kingdom" as presented in
Matthew 13 as the outward kingdom, not Bible Christianity, but "Churchianity" or "Christendom" instead of real Christianity. The seven parables are considered to be a summary of the course of the Church Age until the end.
