The mustard plant mentioned by Jesus — generally agreed to be the brassica negra variety, or black mustard — grows to a height of nine feet! This monster of a plant comes from a seed 1 mm in diameter. Usually we think of a bush and don’t realize just how big this mustard seed can grow! Look at how small the adult man appears in front of the mustard plant/tree.

Thank you for sharing this photo. Such a tiny seed! Such a gigantic tree! The picture beautifully illustrates what Christ meant about having the faith of a mustard seed. I have a mustard seed necklace that my aunt gave me years ago. They were quite popular at one time.
cool! I didn’t know that about the mustard seed necklace!

Hi Pastor Mike,
Another brick in the wall. Pass the mustard.
Happy Trails, . . .
Thanks five words. I must confess I am a bit mystified as to the meaning of your comment. Is it good to be a brick in the wall or bad?

Thank you so much for visiting Ivegotconfidence again. Your interest means so much and I trust that God will bless you as you seek His face to do what He has called you to do. He is indeed a great God and is worthy of our praise and adulation. As you give of yourself to others on His behalf, He will give back to you of Himself…what more could we ever want!?! Blessings!

I have had thoughts about the mustard seed parable for some time. The photo helped my thought process. I hope to post something on this soon
Two years ago this Easter [roughly], I started a group called,”Mustard Seeds and Lilies,” over on a web site called Red Bubble. I have since been removed as Host but count it as joy [after being attacked with a lie and a false claim by an atheist] to feel and know I will be persecuted for my belief in Jesus Christ. The name of your site speaks volumes to me for from the smallest seed we see the quickest growth. Mustard Seeds and Lilies is still an active site… so the truth of the Gospel can still speak there, and we know He lives. Take care Pastor Ashcraft… it is nice to meet you.

Thanks for taking time to read and click the “like” button on my blog. I am curious, you do realize that I write, as a Christian, in support of marriage equality, for my lesbian Christian friend? I didn’t want there to be a mistaken impression. We, she and I, appreciate any interaction. It means that there’s a chance that peace might break out and she might not be repressed but, welcomed as any Believer should be. Again, thanks. I think the Mustard Seed might also be an appropriate analogy for us as we are trying, in our own small way, to grow, too.
Thank you for teaching me English.
You’re welcome. Feel free to ask anytime.
This really helps illustrate the Bible story about mustard seed. So tiny yet growing so big. 🙂 Blessings!
First time I have ever seen a picture of the plant, and it is quite impressive. God bless.
Wow! So amazing! Thank you.
Cool, it almost looks like a weeping willow tree.
It reminds me of God’s generosity! And ours as well! “The world of the generous gets larger and larger.” (Proverbs)
Interesting 🙂
Thanks for your like of my post, “”Jehovah?” – “Jesus?” – Let’s Talk About It;” you are very kind.
We use black mustard seeds in Indian cooking on a regular basis. I had no idea that they came from such a big plant. Also, thanks for visiting and following my blog.
