What begins as something very small, eventually grows enormously to express its presence on Earth and in eternity.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field. Of all the seeds it is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and find shelter in its branches.” (The Bible, The Gospel According to Matthew 13:31-32)
