And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Isn't it great to know that we can have a part in growing God's kingdom? Each time we tell someone about Jesus, we are helping to grow the kingdom. Every follower of Jesus is a part of the kingdom and that means that you and I are a part of God's kingdom. Jesus started growing the kingdom of God with a handful of disciples. Just think how many apples that is! It isn't hard to see how we have enough apples to feed the entire world, is it? How many apples do you think each tree might produce? Fifty? A hundred? Two hundred? I read that an apple tree can produce from 150 to 300 apples each year and that an apple tree will produce apples for about fifty years. Now, imagine that we planted these seeds and each grew into an apple tree. To get a better understanding of what this story teaches, I took an apple, cut it open, and took out the seeds. From a very small beginning, the kingdom of God has grown and grown until it has spread over the entire earth. That is still a pretty small beginning, isn't it? Jesus sent out the twelve and they brought others to Jesus and the kingdom of God grew.
One by one, Jesus called his disciples until there were twelve of them. Jesus called them and they immediately left their nets and followed him. As they continued on their way, they saw two other brothers, James and John, mending their nets. The Bible tells us that Jesus was walking along the shore of the sea of Galilee when he saw two fishermen, Peter and his brother Andrew, casting their nets. How is that a picture of the kingdom of God? Well, when Jesus first began his earthly ministry, he had no followers. It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of all garden plants it grows long branches, and birds can make nests in its shade" (Mark 4:30-32). Jesus said, "How can I describe the Kingdom of God? What story should I use to illustrate it? It is like a mustard seed planted in the ground. Jesus told a parable comparing the mustard seed to the kingdom of God. I have read that these tiny seeds can produce a plant that grows ten feet high or more! Even though the mustard seed is one of the smallest of all seeds, when it is planted in the ground, it grows into a plant so large that birds can perch on its branches and can even build their nests in it. A mustard seed is so small that if you were holding one in your hand and dropped it on the ground, you might not be able to find it. See how tiny these seeds are? They are the smallest seeds I have ever seen.
