The Visible Growth of the Gospel
Mark 4:30-32
And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it?…


Christ's kingdom also grows outwardly and visibly as the hidden mustard seed grows into a great tree. Christ not only taught new truth, but He also founded a new society, which is to he like a living, growing tree. That society is sometimes called the Visible Church, and it is very visible in our day, quite as visible as the biggest garden tree is among garden plants.

(J. Wells.)
