There is a principle that you see working itself out on every page of the Bible. There is a truth that you see being played out in every account of God’s Word. There is a formula that you see carried out as God works out salvation for us and for the world. I like to call it the “mustard seed formula.” No, I’m not talking about faith the size of a mustard seed. That’s another truth for another time. I’m talking about the way that God works in this world, the way it appears and the way it really is. It seems small. It seems insignificant. It seems weak. It seems foolish. But it is hardly that. It is the mustard seed formula. God takes something small, insignificant, weak and foolish and accomplishes some big, glorious and majestic. We’re looking at the Parable of the Mustard Seed in Matthew 13:31-33.
