Quote from Leon Morris:
"The kingdom (of heaven) may be considered insignificant in its beginnings and was doubtless despised by many in Jesus' day because of this. But in the end its growth would be extensive; it would be a very great kingdom indeed.”
Leon Morris, "The Gospel According to Matthew: Pillar New Testament Commentary" (Wm. B. Eerdmans: Grand Rapids, MI, 1992), 352.
