What does the contrast between the small seed and huge bush teach you about the kingdom of God?

T he contrast between the small seed and the huge tree tells us that the kingdom of God is for everyone , even to those whose faith is as small as the smallest seed in a field. The mustard seed starts very small but grows to be a big bush, the mustard seed represents the Gospel, the word of God, ''as we know from the parable of the sower''so the word of God like the mustard seed starts very small and spreads and grows to reach millions throughout the world , and those are the ones who will inherit the kingdom of God.those who had that small faith in their hearts and were willing to grow bigger and bigger with /in -jesus christ. The tree offers a refuge for His faithfuls to rest in Him. The tree represents earthly greatness and refuge to the nations. The tiny mustard seed, growing to be a tree, symbolizes Jesus' offer of refuge and life in God's Kingdom

Jesus became very popular. People came to see Him from all over for all kinds of reasons. Can you list some reasons why the crowds could be following Him?

Christ`s word to us, meaning the entire Bible, is His revelation of Himself. where as today the different churches are almost advertising for people to attend church, people came from far places to see jesus.most men followed him for selfish reasons, some out of faith, some followed him to find proof to condemn him when the time is right.probably others wanted to learn the `MAGIC` they thought he was practicing in his healings and casting out of demons.

When religious leaders accused Jesus of working on the day of rest (Jesus), why did Jesus get so angry?

jesus was angered because although keeping the sabbath was one of the laws demanded by God in the scriptures, however it did not mean that the israelites should become blind slaves to the laws .The Sabbath day was established for man.The law was established for man .when they followed these rules blindly thinking that is the way to achieve grace ''by their deeds''they lost all perspective as to what God asked of them, that he is the one to be loved and obeyed, Before the ten commandments the following words are written, I, the Lord your God, am the God who lead you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery, ''Exodus 20:2''. In other words, the forgiveness and salvation of God, the grace of God and the work of his salvation based on that grace came first. The reason they were saved was not that they had kept the law. It is because of his grace. jesus kept on teaching us to love the creator and not the created.
