The parable of the mustard seed

Answer Text:
Jesus used the parable of the mustard seed to illustrate the growth of the Kingdom of God.
A mustard seed is the smallest seed in the world.
He said that when a man plants a mustard seed in his field, it grows and becomes a big tree and birds make nests on its branches.
Jesus told this parable to show that
- The kingdom of God has a small beginning and expands to all corners of the earth.
- It also attracts many people.
- All the nations of the world get shelter in the Kingdom of God.
- The church should accept all people to find spiritual shelter.
-The growth of kingdom of God is gradual.
