18 Jesus said, “What is God’s Kingdom like? To what shall I compare it? 19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and put in his own garden. It grew, and became a large tree, and the birds of the sky live in its branches.” 20 Again he said, “To what shall I compare God’s Kingdom? 21 It is like yeast, which a woman took and hid in three measures of flour, until it was all leavened.” |

Luke 13:18-21 - World English Bible |

After a miracle controversy, Jesus gave two short parables about the Kingdom: the mustard seed and the leavened bread. In both cases, the little amount caused a huge change; the tiny addition was almost hidden, yet the results were unmistakable. In analogies like these, he differed from many of his contemporaries who envisioned the coming Kingdom as a historically changing event of cosmic proportions: the great revolution or the apocalyptic battle between the “sons of light” and the “sons of darkness.” While those shifts in history could occur, the seeds of these events remained out of sight. But, what were those agents of change? The appearance of a rural preacher from Galilee and his message, Jesus and the Good News. How do you plant the seeds of the Good News with others? |
