    I am neither a botanist nor a theologist but in my experience mustard seeds are relatively large and mustard plants are relatively small.

      In the Bible, mustard seeds are mentioned in parables that illustrate spiritual lessons. Here are some relevant verses:

      1. Matthew 13:31-32 (KJV):

        • Jesus said: “The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.”
      2. Luke 13:18-19 (KJV):

        • Jesus also compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed: “It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.”

      These parables highlight how something small can grow and have a significant impact, symbolizing faith and spiritual growth. The mustard seed grows into a sturdy tree, providing shelter for the birds, just as our faith can grow and bear fruit in our lives. 🌱🌿

      It was about the heaven and not about faith, AI generated reply BTW.
