You may never write a hymn that is still sung centuries after you die.  You may never be acclaimed by the masses.  But one by one, Christians who follow our Lord’s teaching do make this world a better place to live.  And make happen one mustard seed moment after the other.

          I chose this scripture for the morning because it tells us that if we want impossible things to happen, we have to chase down and capture an impossible faith.  The kind of faith that leads others to ask, “How did you do it?” 

You see, a mustard seed really is terribly small, so insignificant it takes hundreds of them to make just a gram.  And if a man’s eyes are not good, he has to actually put on glasses to be able to see it.  But infinitesimal as it is, when planted, this tiny seed grows into a tree.

So mustard seed moments may often seem quite mundane, but the circumstances derived from such moments are never mundane.  They have an explosive quality about them.  They shout!  That’s why those who know from personal experience call what the Bible has to teach…DYNAMITE.

Take the example of a tax collector named Matthew.  Who would have expected him to give up such a lucrative position and follow a poor Nazarene?  A rather futile move, some must have thought.  But the mustard seed moment was there waiting, and he became one of the chosen Twelve.

          And John was a fisherman making a good living doing what he liked, until he gave it all up to follow the Master.  I’m sure some of his friends probably commented, “He’s out there following some ne’er-do-well called Jesus.  I

don’t believe it.”  But believe it, for that is what happened.  A mustard seed moment and he too became one of the chosen Twelve.

And all the other ten chosen to be Christ’s Disciples had their mustard seed moments...except that one walked a traitors path...

Where is your mustard seed moment or moments?
