Throughout Jesus’ ministry, He declared that the Kingdom of God was near and that the time had come to repent and believe the Good News. The Kingdom of God had come in the person, words and works of Jesus. Onlookers then, and today, may have questioned how this Galilean carpenter could be a King and where His Kingdom was. In the parable of the Mustard Seed, Jesus explains the mystery, the promise and the ultimate fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.

“Were you even listening?” Sometimes we get ourselves in trouble because we don’t remember or comprehend what we’ve been told. Even though Jesus used parables to help His listeners understand who He was and why He came, some missed the message. In one parable, Jesus explains the direct correlation between how carefully we listen to the Word of God and the benefits we gain or forfeit.

Great stories can inspire us and impact our lives. Jesus often used short stories, or parables, to help His listeners understand greater truths. The first parable Jesus told was the key to understanding all of the rest. As Jesus describes the scene of a farmer sowing seeds in a variety of soils, He is illustrating the different responses that individuals have to hearing Biblical truth. This parable challenges us to acknowledge our own response to God’s Word and its ultimate fruitfulness, or lack thereof, in our lives.
