Book of Mark: The Parable of Mustard Seed

Description

And he said, “With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade.”
With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

Mark 4:30-34 ESV

This parable explains about the kingly rule of Jesus through his current ministry, it seems small and insignificant, some people have heard about it, some people have seen him, but only few responded to follow Him. One day the kingdom of God will be seen as the greatest kingdom of all, when all things will be revealed :)
Even now, we can see how Jesus’ ministry has grown, from 12 disciples, to the believers in all the nations across the earth, however everything will be revealed even more when Jesus come back :)

I don't think I've heard before the interpretation regarding the tree reflecting the faith of all Christians throughout the ages, I think I've taken this to refer to individual faith. But of course, people in Jesus' time were much more communal societies and as you rightly point out Jesus is referring to the kingdom here.

If only it were true that Christianity had a greater influence for good in the world today. But of course, it is all God's work not our own, plus I think at least part of the reason why things aren't good in the world today is because if we are already living God's way there wouldn't be a need for heaven and earth to be restored (and so we don't become too attached to this world).

One day Jesus will return to restore everything to himself and it will be an exciting and terrifying time indeed. On a human level I look forward to being vindicated for our sufferings - great and small - but on the other hand I fear for those who don't yet know him. Such is the wisdom of God timing his return I suppose.
