Jesus tells three parables – The Parables of the Lighted Lamp, Seed Growing, and Mustard Seed – in quick succession in the book of Mark to give us insight into the kingdom of God. In the first one, he wants us to understand that Jesus came to be the light of this world. In the second, that God is like a farmer who sows, grows, and harvests his crops on his own. In the third, the Mustard Seed, he shows us that the kingdom may start small, but it will grow (and has grown) to a point where everyone can see it.
