*DAILY DEW 21/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Mustard Seed* _Key Bible Text:_ *"[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."* (Mark 4: 31-32) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:31-32, Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God using the analogy of a mustard seed. He compares the kingdom to a small seed that, when sown, grows into a large plant, providing shelter for birds. This parable highlights the contrast between the kingdom's humble beginnings and its eventual grandeur. The mustard seed represents the small and seemingly insignificant start of Jesus' ministry, which would eventually grow into a vast and expansive kingdom. This parable encourages faith and hope, reminding believers that even the smallest beginnings can lead to remarkable outcomes through God's power. The growth of the mustard seed into a large plant symbolizes the kingdom's expansion and its impact on the world. The image of birds lodging in its branches suggests that the kingdom will provide refuge, shelter, and sustenance for many. This parable emphasizes the kingdom's universal scope and its invitation to all people. In conclusion, the parable of the mustard seed teaches that the kingdom of God, though starting small and seemingly insignificant, will grow and have a profound impact on the world. It encourages believers to trust in God's power and promises, recognizing that even the smallest beginnings can lead to extraordinary outcomes. _MEDITATION_ *"The Kingdom of God is God's greatest accomplishment on earth and hereafter.
