I guess I always focused on having " faith -as -small -as- the -mustard- seed- to- see- our- faith -grow" aspect. I saw pretty birds in the imagination of my mind. Like doves, sparrows, etc. I missed seeing the hawks , ravens, eagles version. lol

This is a new twist to the parable but as Shiloh says it does make sense.

Here's another one:


"So, the picture painted in the Parable of the Mustard Seed by Jesus is of the humble beginnings of the church experiencing an explosive rate of growth. It grows large and becomes a source of food, rest, and shelter, for both believers and false professing individuals that seek to consume or take advantage of its benefits while residing or mixing among what was produced by the seed (1 Corinthians 5:1;6:7;2 Corinthians 11:13;Galatians 1:7). In other words, Jesus predicts that, while the church will grow extremely large from just a small start, it will not remain pure. While this is not a condemnation of the "bigness" of modern Christianity, it does show us the greatest burden that comes with it. The Parable of the Mustard Seed is both a prediction and a warning. May we listen to its message."
