The mustard seed
--:--
Thomson Mashakeni engages in a conversation with Prof. Elijah Baloyi, exploring the significance of the mustard seed as referenced in the often-overlooked verse, Matthew 17:20, and expanding the conversation to explore faith through Proverbs 3:5 and Ephesians 6:12. Jesus begins by illustrating the consequences of having little faith and then introduces the parable. The discussion prompts several questions that Prof. Baloyi addresses: What is a mustard seed? what are the benefits of it? What does the mustard seed represent in this context? Why does Jesus use the mustard seed as a metaphor? What is faith, and why is it essential in our lives?
