Jesus said, "What is the Kingdom of God like? To what can I compare it? It is like a mustard seed that a man took and planted in the garden. When it was fully grown it became a large bush and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches." Again he said, "To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God? It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of wheat flour until the whole batch of dough was leavened."
Consideration: Jesus describes a process of growth that with time reaches fruition. Both examples require labor to prepare; time for growth; and finally, reaching the end for which they were created. This process sums up our journey here on earth; and if we are faithful, seek out the mercy of God, and amend our lives, we shall also rise to the eternal glory in the Kingdom of God. Amen.
