God Quote-Mustard Seed Kingdom
JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the LORD says in Luke 13:18.
“What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”
This shows the humble beginnings and impressive growth of God’s Kingdom over time until it proves to be a place of shelter and refuge.
Jesus began His ministry with a few disciples. These were the men that He taught about the kingdom of God. They would tell others about Jesus in the book of Acts. The church gradually grew in numbers. Even though believers were persecuted for their faith, their influence would expand as they would spread out to other parts of the world and take the Gospel with them wherever they went.
Today, the kingdom of God continues to grow and expand as more and more people leave behind their old way of life to follow Jesus.
Luke 13:18-That’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for life.
