“Leaven of the Kingdom”

Blessings Folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 13:33
Luke 13:20-21

Another parable by Jesus to give us some insight into the Kingdom.

Often when we see “leaven” in the Word it is used in a negative way.

Not so here.

The “leaven” is being used as a picture of the impact of the Kingdom of Heaven in this world.

In the same manner that a small portion of leaven can cause three (there is that number again) measures of flour to rise, the Kingdom has an impact.

The Kingdom expands.
The Kingdom transforms the very nature of the person and their community, in the same way leaven transforms flour.

Are you in the Kingdom?
Is the Kingdom growing in you?
