What did Jesus say was the seed to the kingdom of heaven?
Jesus didn't say anything was the seed to the kingdom of heaven. He did say (talking about the parable of the sower) that the seed was the "word of God"Luk 8:11 "Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.And this seed comparison:Matthew 13:31New King James Version (NKJV) The Parable of the Mustard Seed31 Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, Another Answer:In the thirteenth chapter of Matthew's gospel we find what are known as the seven parables of the kingdom. In three of the parables the Lord speaks of seed, and in every parable in means something different.In the first parable, Jesus himself explains, comparing various types of people receiving the word of the kingdom to various types of ground receiving the seed, the seed here is clearly the word of the kingdom or the gospel.In the second parable, the parable of the tares and the wheat, the Lord is even more direct , Matthew 13:38 - "the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one"In the third parable of the kingdom, Jesus likens the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed that a man planted in the field, but there is no explanation given. From the previous parables we can tell that the sower is Jesus Christ, the field is the world. We are not told explicitly what exactly the mustard seed is, but it is something that Jesus planted in the world, and it grew to an enormous size. It is my personal view that since mustard seed is used to describe faith (Mat 17:20, Luk17:6) and an illustration the Lord gives of himself in John 12:24 as a grain of wheat that falls into the ground and dies in order to produce much fruit, that the mustard seed here is faith in the vicarious death of Jesus Christ from which faith stem all the branches of this tree.
