Today I met with two students at UMass-Boston to pray for that campus in hopes of one day starting an InterVarsity chapter there. We reflected a bit on Jesus' comparison to a mustard seed. For a visual, I had us each hold literal mustard seed in our fingers. In holding one of these seeds, one can't help but think, "wow, this thing is SMALL!" It's tiny, barely even visible. Yet Jesus uses a mustard seed to describe the origins of something that eventually grows large and is a blessing to many.
I have to say, three people sitting around a picnic table praying in the midst of a giant campus feels pretty tiny, and barely visible. But could it be that in this small gathering lies the seed of something large that is a blessing to many? I guess we'll see.....
