“He said, therefore, ‘What is the kingdom of God like, and what can I compare it to?’” (v. 18)

What is the kingdom of God like? This things that the prophet and the Lord both assured us is here, breaking in?

Jesus tells us it’s like a mustard seed: sown, grown, and flourishing for good.

And Jesus tells us it’s like yeast: worked in, worked through, and working.

The kingdom of God is in the small things. But they don’t stay small. Our little faithfulnesses—our love and our devotion and our purity and our charity—grow, when they are diligently worked into and worked out through our lives. Your personal followership flowers, beautifying the earth while harboring the wandering. It multiplies, raising up what is good to afford an abundance.

The kingdom is glimpsed in the smallest seed and the tiniest leaven—in you—applied for His glory.
