Thanks for a fresh look into the parables in this text. I had not thought about Jesus seeing himself as the mustard seed. What a beautiful image!

Thank you Andrew for your interpretative work here. Similar to Joel, I have never considered Jesus seeing himself as the mustard seed. Indeed a beautiful image. I also appreciated the concept of patient hope/waiting/ deep listening and faithful discernment (my interpretation here) - helpful perspective taking and humility nurturing.
