The Mustard Weed

The mustard seed takes over a garden like a weed. It germinates and grows into a large plant that takes resources away from other plants around it. It is similar to the Kingdom of God in that it irritates farmers like the Kingdom irritated those who were in power at Jesus' time. Once people begin to live the Kingdom of God, the word is spread and sure enough, it is everywhere. It was tiresome to the enemies of Jesus, as they were irritated by rapid spread of Jesus's teachings about the Kingdom of God.
