The Mustard Seed.

Jesus said His Kingdom is like a mustard seed that was planted. Now Jesus did not pick the mustard seed at random. Jesus picked the mustard seed because of how it behaves. This seed is not the smallest of seeds but it is powerful. What the Bible doesn't tell us is that this seed would have taken over this man's whole garden eventually. Mustard grows into a shrub 3 to 5 feet in height, but it spreads like wildfire. It is a dangerous plant around grain fields, it just takes over. Jesus said His Kingdom and the Gospel is like that, it just takes over.
