About The Mustard Seed

Of all the seeds a man might drop into the garden soil, the mustard seed is among the smallest — barely a speck in the palm. Yet given earth and time, it rises into something so full and wide that birds settle into its branches as if they had always belonged there. Jesus told this story to describe the Kingdom of Heaven: that the grandest things begin in the quietest, most unassuming places, and that even the smallest act of faith holds within it something immeasurable.
