Introduction to the parable of the mustard seed
Jesus told the parable of the mustard seed in order to explain about the Kingdom of Heaven.
In the parable, the tiny mustard seed grows into very tall trees. He said that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a tiny mustard seed that a man planted in a field.
Amazing, but that tiny seed grows into a large tree. It is so large that the birds make nests in its branches.
Mustard trees can become very tall. Their height can range from six feet to 20 feet.

Parable of the mustard seed scriptures
He put another parable before them, saying,
“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field.
Mat 13:32
It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”

Parable of the mustard seed meaning
Jesus told another parable that helps us to understand the meaning of the seed. In that parable called the Parable of the Sower, He said that the seed is the Word of God.
When the Word of God is taught and preached, those who obey and practice it will bear fruit. Their fruit will be plentiful which means that they will be like Christ.
His Kingdom continually increases everywhere whenever His people share His Word so that others come into His Kingdom.
