What is the Kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it?
It is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in the garden;
it grew and became a tree, and the birds of the air made nests in its branches.
(Luke 13:18-19)
A mustard seed is a very, very small seed. And actually, the mustard seed plant is more like a weed and than it is a tree. Yet, in these words, Jesus tells a parable (which is a story with an unexpected theme or topic) that has to do with the impossible becoming possible, the unreal become reality, the hopeless becoming insanely hopeful -- such is the story of a weed becoming a tree!
Such gives me hope that in the times the results of my life feels more like weed-production for Jesus Christ, that through the work of the Holy Spirit in me and in us, Jesus can turn our 'weediness' into a tree full of life.
Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
If you have any 'weeds' in your life, may you see such being transformed into trees of life by Jesus Christ!
