The Two Thrones Representing the Kingdoms of Grace and of Glory

12/23

GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED

“The kingdom of Heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; which indeed is the least of all seeds; but when it is grown it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.” Verses 31, 32. This parable forcibly illustrates the kingdom of grace, embracing at first only our first parents immediately after the fall, and finally, in its grand results, embracing all the redeemed of every age, and from every land.
