When the King of Kings shows up on earth, we would expect pomp. Boom. Grand festivities. Yet Jesus came more as a whisper. We might expect Jesus to march on Rome, to conquer the reigning powers. But He started in the countryside, with his first show of power at a wedding to make his mom happy. Nothing about this story sounds like everything is about to change. Yet billions of lives have changed in the years since Christ came to earth. The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed.
