Jesus asked, “What is God’s kingdom like? To what can I compare it? It’s like a mustard seed that someone took and planted in a garden. It grew and developed into a tree and the birds in the sky nested in its branches.” Again he said, “To what can I compare God’s kingdom? It’s like yeast, which a woman took and hid in a bushel of wheat flour until the yeast had worked its way through the whole.” (Luke 13:18-21, CEB)
Mustard is a weed and not kosher. A Jewish person would not plant a non kosher plant in a garden to make the whole garden unkosher.
But the kingdom of God is that which a little bit gets in and takes over. It is a place where all are welcome and everyone is safe to be who God created them to be. God gives us a place to know we are loved and accepted as we are.
Once the kingdom gets in, it will take over. Are you working for the inbreaking of God’s kingdom?
Loving People. Loving God.
