THE KINGDOM
OF GOD IS LIKE YEAST
Enter into
the stillness of God within.
Reading ”The kingdom of God is like the yeast
a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour.” (Luke 13:18-21)
Reflection. Jesus gives us two simple parable: the
kingdom of God is like a mustard seed or like yeast or leaven. Brief pictures packed
with meaning. Once the woman starts mixing the yeast it disappears. It becomes one with the flour and transforms
the flour, God’s action in the world is
not easily seen. It is there
constantlytransforming people and society but you hardly notice it. It is an image that gives us huge confidence. Things often look pretty bleak. We seldom turn from hearing the daily news
with a feeling of elation. Quite the
opposite. But despite it all, God is at
work, silently transforming everything through the hearts of all those who
welcome his mixing.
Prayer. Lord, help us to receive the
leaven of you presence in our relations and actions. Amen.
