Or maybe the opposite happened? Your faith planted the seeds in someone else's life that led them to knowing Jesus. Have you ever been encouraged by God working in someone else’s life? That is their faith spreading and growing just like the mustard. Faith makes things happen and it grows and spreads. We can draw the same conclusion from these two verses as from the parable. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (Matthew 17:20)
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. He replied, “Because you have so little faith. He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you. Let’s look at two more verses in which Jesus talks about the mustard seed. One of the most common phrases you hear in Christian circles is “all you need is the faith of a mustard seed.” But what exactly does that mean? But a mustard plant can actually grow quite large and can be pruned to resemble a mustard tree.) What is Faith of a Mustard Seed? (Ok, I do want to point out that most people think of mustard as coming from a plant – which is true. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches. Then Jesus asked, “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. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32 NIV) He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. We will study the parables first and then take a closer look at what he teaches us about faith. He mentions it in parables as well as in an illustration about faith. The mustard seed is mentioned several times by Jesus.
