Faith alone pleases God. He will take the seed of that faith in Him and in the salvation He gives in His Son, Jesus, and with the help of the Holy Spirit it grows and grows and grows!
With each person who enters into the Body of Christ we grow in stature and in the power of God. We are all knit together in the unity of the Holy Spirit, the heart of the Father, to be a blessing to all people.
A mustard seed is much smaller than a kernel of corn or a grain of wheat, yet its growth is more spectacular, reaching a height of ten to twelve feet. The point is the comparatively large result from such a humble and insignificant beginning. The kingdom that Jesus came to announce drew little support during His life but will find complete fulfillment when He returns.
Mark 4:30-32
30 Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? 31 It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; 32 but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”
