DP: The Mustard Seed

The metaphor of the mustard seed tells us that the kingdom of heaven, though has potential to become great, is can be dangerous when not properly applied. The kingdom of heaven is meant to be a source of joy for humanity, as is mustard, but can be detrimental to many because as an ultimate goal it can cloud judgement. Many people wish for a checklist or guarantee pass into heaven which can destroy morality like a pervasive weed to a crop. The mustard seed metaphor reveals the negative sides of the Kingdom of Heaven that potentially could corrupt individuals, turning a positive thing sour.
