Hi, Eric, nice to hear from you.
The size of the seed matters in the first place: Jesus encourages the disciples to believe that the marginal and insignificant movement of renewal to which they have attached themselves will not only survive the catastrophe of the Jewish War but will eventually outgrow or surpass or supersede the empire of pagan Rome, the new Babylon. And isn’t that what happened?
