Dear Friend in the Lord,
“God’s Dream for Us” – Faith: In Jesus’ “Parable of the Mustard Seed,” He proclaimed that God has Blessed each person with the great potential to grow in holiness; when we live according to His Will in His Kingdom. Ponder on, “In so living, we will encounter great things and grow in a wisdom that is beyond our limited human capacities.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 13:31-35
Jesus put a parable before the crowds, ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the biggest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and shelter in its branches.’
He told them another parable, ‘The kingdom of Heaven is like the yeast a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour till it was leavened all through.’
In all this Jesus spoke to the crowds in parables; indeed, he would never speak to them except in parables. This was to fulfil the prophecy: I will speak to you in parables, and expound things hidden since the foundation of the world.
