Mustard seed

Timothy Castillo Rels 100 Tuesday 6:30-9:45 Walter Colace Ch. 4-5 Questions Question 1: The “Parable of the Mustard Seed” is a story about a widowed woman who then loses her only son that passes away. It is at this point in the story the widow is so distraught that she seeks out aid from anyone who can bring her son back from the grave thinking it merely some illness that can be cured through the use of medicine. During her search she comes across Buddha who instructs her on an impossible task as the solution to bringing her son back to life. It is during this wild goose chase that the widow becomes aware of all the suffering that exists not only in her life but the lives around her which ultimately sets her onto the path of enlightenment…

Despite the fact that I have never done something like that before, I never feared to try it. One thing I really got from pastoral year was putting aside my fears. I realized that I could only grow when I don’t let my fear get the most of me. As for the talk, everything went smoothly. The people said that I had a good sense of humor and that they really enjoyed my talk. This was something that I never knew I really have in me; I am usually very shy in front of people. I believe I engage and…

words and tones used in each of the different gospels completely change the way the parables are read. In the mustard seed parable, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Thomas all have the same essence, but the different expressions make them very distinctive. Through comparing the similarities in differences between these four Gospels, it can be deducted that similar sources and references were used in constructing the parable. The first comparison can be made between arguably the most similar writings of…

The parable of the mustard seed is one seen throughout the Gospels. In this parable, the kingdom of God is represented by a mustard seed. This particular seed is one of the smallest seeds in the world, but it grows into a large tree. This parallel is used to show that we, although sometimes not very significant or good just like the seed, can be grown into a prospering Christian, and the kingdom of God can grow in us in the same manner. An alternate of this parable is the parable of the yeast,…

projection of these ideals onto her daughter. Jeanette’s comparison of history to a mustard-oozing, flavorful sandwich symbolizes her messy perception of the world and religion and its contrast with that of her mother. When Jeanette explains the process of storytelling, she describes the product as not a “seamless wonder but a sandwich laced with mustard of my own” (95). The clean cheese and beef sandwiches Jeanette’s mother always prepares for her, representing the ideals that she projects onto…

At every barbeque, picnic, outing, or family get together, hot dogs are consumed. Millions of people adore hot dogs, and just cannot get enough of them. Millions are bought and devoured by the human race. They can be grilled or boiled, and then you can put ketchup, mustard, onions, and other delicious condiments on top. Most people are too busy adoring the food to ask, what is really in a hot dog? The first ingredient is mechanically separated meat. It is light pink and looks like strawberry…

Germination of Brassica rapa Seeds Germination is a vital stage in a plants life, but it also plays a significant role in other animals’ (including humans) life cycle. It is the process in which a new plant grows from a seed. Due to the fact that plants are autotrophs; they use the process of photosynthesis to transform sunlight and make their own food. Germination occurs in gymnosperms and angiosperms when the seed is using its own nutrients, before it is able to photosynthesize. “The plant’s…
