The Kingdom of Heaven in Matthew (Part 5)
Read the series.
The Parables of the Kingdom (Pt. 2)
The Parable of the Mustard Seed
The other five (or six) parables are shorter. The Parable of the Mustard Seed (Matt. 13:31-32) speaks of the “kingdom of heaven” beginning almost imperceptibly like a tiny seed but growing until it becomes a tree that can hold bird’s nests. Does this depict positive or negative growth? The wheat or the tares? It is hard to say, but I side with the majority who see it as positive growth.
