The Mustard Seed

The Bible talks about the Kingdom of God being like a mustard seed.

A mustard seed is very small, the smallest you would plant in your garden. But when it grows it reaches heights of 10-15 feet tall. In the fall the branches stiffen and the birds are able to take refuge in it.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like this. It began small, with only the disciple, but quickly grew to thousands and thousands before the second century. Even today the Kingdom continues to be advanced.

The other thing about the Kingdom is that you can find rest in it. Jesus has said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest" (Matt 11:28). There is rest in the Kingdom of God, all we need to do is go to Jesus to get it. If you are burdened today, go to Jesus and find rest.

tired birds can find a place to make a home so can we find a place in Jesus!
