Biji Sesawi
Pendahuluan.
Baca Matius 13: 31-32 !
Jesus was not comparing this seed to all other seeds in existence but only to the seeds of garden plants in Palestine. Many seeds such as those of the wild orchid, are much smaller than the seed of the mustard plant. But of the many plants grown at the time in the gardens and fields of Palestine. The mustard plant has the smallest seeds, just as Jesus said.
Many varieties of mustard plants are are rather small bushes whose branches are too flimsy for birds to nest in. But the mustard plant of Palestine often grows to a height of twelve or fifteen feet. Just as Jesus said, when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants, and becomes a tree.
Application: Jesus’s point is that: His kingdom started very small and one day spread in power becoming very large and influence to become victorious.
