Christ expects the church to be as a mustard seed (Matt. 13:31-32; Mk. 4:30-32; Lk. 13:18-19). He expects it to start out small. He doesn’t expect it to stay that way. All though the mustard seed is the smallest seed it becomes one of the biggest plants, a tree. When you take this view with the parable of the leaven (Matt. 13:33; Lk. 13:20-21) you glean the idea that is does not take much to grow the church. It simply takes the right things. Mk. 4:26-29 points out the spontaneity of the kingdom growth. This verse also points out that it is not us doing the growing, just the planting. The Lord adds the increase (Acts 2:47).
Are you growing? What do you need to change? Are you growing the way the Lord expects? Are you growing according to the word or man?
