Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed—tiny, easily overlooked, yet destined for remarkable growth. In this powerful image, we see how God’s kingdom begins humbly: through Jesus’ rejection and crucifixion. But from that painful start, resurrection power would emerge. A small group of untrained fishermen, empowered by the Holy Spirit, would carry the good news to the ends of the earth.
God doesn’t advance His kingdom through might, strategy, or human wisdom, but by His Spirit. He delights in using what the world sees as weak to display His glory. You may feel small or insignificant—like a mustard seed. But when you surrender your life to Jesus, He can grow something great from it. In His hands, even the smallest seed becomes a sheltering tree that brings hope and healing to others.
