DP #7: Mustard Seeds are EVIL!!!! :)

Jesus' comparison of the mustard seed to the Kingdom of God explains that though being a part of God's empire is more difficult than living absent from it, it's impossible to escape. To farmers, the mustard seed is a major threat, an extreme challenge they must face or overcome resulting of riches or lack there of; the Kingdom of God is a moral challenge whose battle is seemingly easy to win. Jesus was trying to communicate to the farmers that the power of the Kingdom of God takes over contagiously as the seeds do to their crops. Considering the fact that a metaphor is not meant to explain the whole part of a notion but explain in depth a specific part of it, Jesus' comparison is meant to describe the power and wealth of the Kingdom of God to the farmers in a language they might better understand.
