Matthew 13:31
Have you ever planted just one seed? Usually, we will plant much more. We know that, chances are, many seeds will fail, and a crop will be far less than expected. Here, however, though the kingdom starts small, nothing would keep it from growing. The one who planted it knew this.
Jesus had only a handful of followers in the beginning, but this changed. The church quickly grew to thousands. Not long after, it grew to hundreds of thousands. Today it is hundreds of millions strong. Jesus knew this when he planted the seed.
