"The Mustard Weed."

The mustard seed tells us that the Kingdom of God is not something thats pretty and glamorous, rather it's something we often don't necessarily want anything to do with, i.e. helping that beaten man on the side of the road (good samaritan). However, the beauty of the parable comes this form; as we are exposed to the mustard seed, we become immersed in it and are then almost forced to make good of it, which comes in the form of the great taste and spice that is made from the "horrible" seed. This directly paralles life by showing how something we see as a pest, helping the homeless, Africa,and other so called "pests", are truly rewarding if we choose to harvest that weed or pest.
