Parable of the Mustard Seed The parable of the Mustard seed is merely the parable of the sower modified to use upon ourselves. It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it. And not only so, but the mustard seed is seen devoloping so abnormally that it eventually becomes a tree; and this tree is seen to be of such a nature that " the birds of the air," individuals doing the work of Satan, found a lodging place in the braches. www.web-ministry.com /religious/parables/mustardseed   (10513 words)

Black Mustard - Flowers Commentators differ as to which is the mustard of the parable—this common black mustard, or a rarer shrub-like tree (Salvadora Persica), with an equivalent Arabic name, a pungent odor, and a very small seed. Inasmuch as the mustard which is systematically planted for fodder by Old World farmers grows with the greatest luxuriance in Palestine, and the comparison between the size of its seed and the plant's great height was already proverbial in the East when Jesus used it, evidence strongly favors this wayside weed. The coarse Hedge Mustard (Sisymbrium officinale), with rigid, spreading branches, and spikes of tiny pale yellow flowers, quickly followed by awl-shaped pods that are closely appressed to the stem, abounds in waste places throughout our area. www.oldandsold.com /articles22/flowers-215.shtml   (736 words)

The Parable of The Mustard Seed In the parable of the mustard seed the Lord used the seed to make a point, and that was to illustrate something which develops rapidly from small beginnings, namely the kingdom of heaven, or the faith of an individual. The word "parable," by derivation means "putting things side by side," and is similar to the word "allegory," which by derivation means "saying things in a different way." The object of teaching by parables and allegories is the same. This parable is a further development of the characteristics of the present spiritual kingdom of God. www.ldolphin.org /unruh/mustard.html   (2999 words)

Caryll Houselander Since the work of renewal will be through a return to the Gospels, it might be fitting to close this survey and schema [of the work ahead] with a peasant woman’s version of a homily preached on the parable of the grain of mustard seed.

thomas0567.txt The idea that Thomas is independent of (or "autonomous from," if you will) the synoptics does not depend on either of these "assertions." It does, however, depend on a saying-by-saying comparison of parallels with the synoptics, such as the type of comparison Mahlon made some time ago concerning the parable of the Mustard Seed. And, I might add, this type of argument can be, and has been, made for almost all the parables in Thomas and for other Thomas/Synoptic parallel sayings as well. He is quite clearly cheering for Mark G. and the general dependence of Thomas upon the Synoptics. www.gospels.net /xtalk/thomas/thomas0567.txt   (776 words)

Parable of the Mustard Seed Of course this means that Christ's efforts at building the Temple of 'living stones' is also a failure, since all are of the 'leaven 'as well. Following this logic the sum of the historical workings of the HS on earth is abject failure as the leaven affects the 'whole lump'. I guess the point is that everything is a matter of human interpretation and and it seems to me that what is most important is to gain the SPIRITUAL import of the Scriptures of which there is only one. www.web-ministry.com /religious/parables/mustardseed   (10472 words)
