MATTHEW 17:14-20

14 When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him. 15 “Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering greatly. He often falls into the fire or into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they could not heal him.”

“You unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed at that moment.

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Interesting and reasonably persuasive argument that Jesus used the mustard seed as a symbol of how small His Kingdom began and how explosively it grew.

Most Americans think ‘Mustard Greens’ or ‘French’s’ when you say ‘mustard’. The Jerusalem Mustard that Jesus was talking about grows tall and bushy if not properly cultivated and allowed to grow wild. It s commonly found along roadsides and streams in the Middle East....................

The Limbourg Brothers were the most gifted 14th c. manuscript illuminators. Their remarkable Book of Hours of the Duke of Berry (Les Belles Heures du duke de Berry) is richly illustrated with a luminous palette. Their attention to detail and their interest in the natural world and the way to represent it, foreshadow the work of the great Jan van Eyck and of the Dutch artists of the 15th century.
The calendar section is especially beautiful.

Any idea as to the size of the book’s pages? It seems impossible to achieve that level of detail at the size-scale of an ordinary book.

And it has been cherished in the many centuries since, never having been defaced or misplaced.

What a striking contrast between cultures: a rich man hires artists to painstakingly craft a sacred book that only few eyes could view, versus today's universal access to the world's splendors. It is yet another fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy of exponentially-increasing knowledge.

These devotional Books of Hours were for private use. There are beautiful other examples, all done for the aristocracy. Without their commission, we would not have such treasures around. Today they can be admired in Museums all over the world.

The Jerusalem Mustard that Jesus was talking about grows tall and bushy if not properly cultivated and allowed to grow wild.

Excellent. Sounds like a description of John the Baptist.

Matthew 11

7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Matthew 13

31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:
32 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.

Standing on the shoulders of giants

Bird's-eye view!

This is great. With the coop floor painted to look like water (those gals, they walk on water!), I feel another name coming on:

Aye, Calypso, the places you've been to
The things that you've shown us, the stories you tell
Aye, Calypso, I sing to your spirit
The men who have served you so long and so well.
